05840-Looking for accommodation

After visiting several hotels, Mi Wei disliked some of them for being too noisy, some of the rooms were cramped, some of them smelled bad, and some of them were not cleaned well... In short, they were not satisfied with all of them.

Me: "Just tell me exactly where you want to live, and you don't need to be picky and euphemistic."

Mi Wei: "It's not all an excuse. Although I can adapt to these places if I have to live in them, if I am only satisfied with 'a place to nest', then why should I leave my slime house? If the environment during the trip is not Why should I go on this trip without making me feel better than in the slime house?"

Me: "For me."

Mi Wei: "If it's just for you, I don't need to follow you anymore. Mi Chisel can take you anywhere you want with a glass ball, and I only need to provide a ball of mucus to maintain your relationship with Mi Chisel. Connection."

Me: "Okay. What do you think might strike you as better than a slime house?"

Mi Wei: "A place with more life. I want to find a family and see if they are willing to provide me with an empty room."

Me: "How are you going to find it? Ask one by one? First, a family that is too poor may not be able to give you a room, and second, a very rich family may not want to let two guys of unknown origin enter the door. So you can choose Most of them are probably only those families who have small assets and value the accommodation expenses. In fact, there are quite a lot of them, and they may be the most numerous in Dongning Village.”

Mi Wei: "Let's take a look first. There are many rooms that meet the requirements of the room, but the family atmosphere I like may not be easy to find."

Me: "What kind of family atmosphere are you looking for?"

Mi Wei: "Well...it makes me feel comfortable."

Then Mi Wei walked around the various dormitory areas until it was dark, but he still couldn't find it.

Me: "Why was the last stay so smooth?"

Mi Wei: "Because the last time was just a break, and the main time was spent talking about the introduction of magic, but this time I want to live a good life. I hope this time I can integrate into the rhythm of life in Dongning Village a little bit, not just Just as a visitor."

"You are the catastrophe, get out of here." A teenager's voice came, accompanied by the children's yelling and some pushing and hitting.

05841-Bane

Me: "You don't need to be close to know that this is one or a few children who have been bullied by a group of children of the same age."

Mi Wei walked over, and as soon as he approached, he stopped the group of bullying children.

Oh, the main force in the battle should be Mi Chisel, not Mi Wei who seems to have no fighting power.

The group of children left the bullied boy and ran away in a hurry. The bullied boy got up from the ground, looking very embarrassed, but there were only some minor wounds on the flesh and bones, no muscle or bone injuries.

The boy glanced at Mi Chisel, and then his eyes fell on Mi Wei.

Mi Wei: "I just came to Dongning Village today and plan to live for a while, but I haven't found a suitable place to live yet. Would you like to be my landlord?"

Judging from the boy's clothing and skin health, his family background should be okay, and he is definitely not a homeless street child.

Boy: "I killed my whole family."

Mi Wei: "I don't believe that."

Boy: "The person who adopted me didn't believe it either. He died half a year after adopting me."

Mi Wei raised his hand close to the boy's cheek, and paused for two seconds when he was about to touch it. Seeing that the boy had no intention of dodging, he actually touched the boy's skin, and shared the energy of the boy's body surface with me.

Me: "There seems to be no trace of spells. It may be that there are secrets hidden in his family, so it has attracted hunting, or it may be that those deaths are just coincidences."

Mi Wei withdrew his hand and said to the boy: "My name is Mi Wei, and this is my partner Mi Chisel. We are confident that we can protect ourselves well. Are you willing to take us in?"

Boy: "How good are you?"

Mi Wei: "Well... At least it can deal with groups of monsters."

The boy nodded: "Then come with me." There was a deliberate indifference in his tone, but when he turned around to lead us the way, he couldn't help turning his head back to make sure we were following.

After the boy turned his head back for the seventh time, Mi Wei said, "If we decide not to follow, we will tell you and we won't leave secretly."

Boy: "...Why do you have no footsteps at all?"

Mi Wei: "A powerful person can control himself to not make a sound when he moves, otherwise it will be very dangerous when hunting monsters."

Boy: "But... I can hear even the slightest footstep."

05842 - natural keenness

Mi Wei: "Have you been out of Dongning Village?"

Boy: "No."

Mi Wei: "Dongning Village doesn't even have branches of the two major associations, so there aren't too many powerful figures among the residents who live here; and because of Dongning Village's geographical location, there is still a short distance between Dongning Village and all the nearby monster gathering areas. It is separated from other human villages or cities, so the powerful hunters who hunt monsters will not stay in Dongning Village for a long time. It doesn't attract the strong."

The village where Boss He lives is called Linpang Village, which is a very perfunctory name. It is the origin of such an abbreviation. Because Linpang Village is adjacent to the forest where the slime house is located, for hunters who want to enter the forest, Linpang Village is basically a must pass. That's why Boss He's grocery store was opened. get up.

In terms of weapon specifications, the small grocery store is by no means inferior to the most high-end weapon store in Dongning Village, but Dongning Village is a quasi-city with balanced development in all aspects, and the total number of villagers in Linpang Village is at most equivalent to that of Dongning Village. a street.The weapons in Linpang Village are necessary, and the weapons in Dongning Village are more just for showing off.

Boy: "I can also hear the sound of a leaf falling to the ground in the market."

Mi Wei: "You don't have any signs of magic power or grudge energy on your body, so you are born with a keen sense of hearing?"

Boy: "It's not completely natural, but it's been there since a very young age."

Mi Wei: "Generally speaking, if a person's perception in a certain aspect is particularly keen, then he should have more talent than ordinary people on the road to becoming a warrior or magician."

Boy: "I've tested that I don't have the talent of a magician, and warriors... no one is willing to accept me as an apprentice. There is no warrior academy in Dongning Village. If I want to enter an academy in another city, I need a letter of recommendation from a warrior or noble. No." He said and finally took a second look at Mi Chiu.

Mi Chisel: "I am not a registered fighter of the Warrior Association, so I am not eligible for recommendation."

Mi Wei: "I can't give you a letter of recommendation either."

The boy didn't seem very disappointed. He just stopped at the door of a house, opened the door, and said, "This is it, my house. You...you can stay here if you want."

Mi Wei took out a piece of gold melted into a square and put it in the boy's hand: "Thank you. This is the rent."

The boy shook the gold and said, "Can you pay the rent by pointing me out?"

Mi Wei: "If you can reach the first level of Dou Qi, then you can register in any Warrior Association and obtain the entrance examination qualification of any Warrior Academy as a fighter."

Boy: "Yes, I want to go this way."

05843 - closeness and hostility

Mi Wei: "I guess you didn't want to take this path today, but I'm afraid it hasn't been smooth all the time. You don't have fighting spirit in your body."

Boy: "I... have been training for almost two years."

Mi Wei: "After two years, I still haven't developed a bit of fighting spirit, I'm afraid..."

The boy interrupted urgently: "I still want to try. I... don't want to be trapped in Dongning Village forever."

Mi Wei: "If you really want to leave, you don't have to go through formal channels. Just sell everything and leave with the money. If you go to more places, you may meet powerful hunters who are willing to guide you."

The boy lowered his head: "I... don't have the guts. I'm afraid that after I leave Dongning Village, I won't be able to find someone who is willing to teach me. In the end, I won't even be able to return to Dongning Village. Although there are many things in Dongning Village that I don't like. People and things, but at least I can still live here. The inheritance left by my parents is enough for me to live my whole life. I dare not give up this stable hometown. Even if I want to give up, I must find the next stable place to rely on when."

Mi Wei: "What if we leave temporarily, for example, for a month or two?"

Boy: "Leave...what to do?"

Mi Wei: "You can do many things, such as hunting monsters. Maybe you will find out why you can't enter the gate of warriors in actual combat."

Boy: "Some people's body structure is not suitable, and they can't develop fighting energy or store fighting energy."

Mi Wei: "No, fighting qi is not such a niche thing, and the problem with you is that apart from not being able to train fighting qi, there is another point: you haven't developed muscles. After two years of training, if you really practice hard If you don't, it doesn't make sense for you to look so weak. Even if you're a born magician, if you put down your magic training and concentrate on practicing the basics of warriors for two years, you won't be able to look like you again."

Boy: "I, I have been practicing very hard. Although most of them are learned secretly, although some moves may be wrong, I am definitely not lazy."

Mi Chi: "Let me practice for a round, let's find the problem together."

The boy took a quick look at Mi Chisel, and continued to ask Mi Wei for his opinion.

Mi Chisel: "You little guy, do you have a problem with your recognition ability? Can't you tell which one of Mi Wei and I looks like a warrior? Why do you only stare at him? No matter how you look at it, I am more likely to teach you warrior skills, right?"

The boy is silent.

Mi Wei: "I still don't know what your name is?"

Boy: "Yang Xuanming. My name is Yang Xuanming."

Mi Wei: "Okay, Yang Xuanming, first show us what you know, maybe we can help you find a breakthrough."

Yang Xuanming: "Yes." Then he seriously showed the moves he had learned secretly in the past two years.

Me: "I think he is hostile to Mi Chisel."

Mi Wei: "He has no reason to be hostile to Mi Chisel who he met for the first time, so if there is hostility, it should be because he has suffered at the hands of people similar to Mi Chisel. And this kind of knot in the heart of soldiers may cause him One of the reasons why it's so hard to make progress in fighter training."

Me: "If it's just a knot in his heart, it won't make him lose his fighting spirit and muscles. His hostility towards Mi Chiu is very slight, not to the point of becoming a demon, so it shouldn't have such a fundamental impact. "
