After the male protagonist

"Failed." Gus shook his head. Although he knew it in his heart, he was still a little disappointed.

In the midst of disappointment, there is also a little bit of luck. Compared with wolf-level spirit beasts, he wants to sign a contract with tiger-level or even dragon-level spirit beasts. If his compatibility with spirit beasts is not so low, he may even Will not try to sign a contract with a wolf-level spirit beast.

This answer made Klia a little disappointed. If he succeeded this time, he would be able to get rid of Gass.

Gus asked in frustration, "Am I... never going to be able to sign a contracted beast?"

"How could it be?" Keria put his hand on Gus's shoulder lightly, comforting him insincerely, "This is just the first attempt, you still have many chances to try, I will accompany you until you have the contract Beast."

Gass lowered his head, and naturally he didn't see how reluctant Keriya was when he said this, but Eswe, who was standing directly opposite Keriya, saw it. He raised his eyebrows and didn't expose it on the spot .

Gus was indeed comforted by Klia's light words, he raised his head, his expression brightened.

He was not such an easily lost person, but now that Keria was here, and Keriya saw such a failed side of him, he couldn't help but want to belittle himself so that Keriya could comfort him.

Besides, he got Keriya's promise again, which made Gus feel at ease.He worried that what Keriya said in the auditorium yesterday was just a scene, not of his own will, because he saw Keriya's reluctance at the time.

Gass signaled the defeated spirit beast to leave, and the group set off again.

Esway also comforted Gus, saying: "There are countless kinds of spirit beasts on this continent, regardless of the ghost level, there are also countless spirit beasts of the three levels of wolf, tiger, and dragon. As long as you try them one by one and sign a contract , will always succeed.”

Just like Elsweet himself, there are not many types of contracted beasts that their clan can sign, and Xiaoshu's race is just one of them, and it is also the most suitable choice for their clan.

Gass said, "Well, I understand."

Before Eswee opened his mouth to speak, Keria suddenly said, "Some people are not born suitable for low-level contracted beasts."

These words attracted the attention of Gus and Eswee.

Keria said: "I once read in a book that there was a person whose compatibility with spirit beasts was also very low. Later, his own strength was strong enough to defeat dragon-level spirit beasts alone, and then this person and The spirit beast he defeated signed the contract."

It's inspiring to hear.

Eswe didn't know whether Kria had seen such content in the book, he hadn't seen it himself.If it weren't for the expression on Keriya's face, Esway would almost have thought that the other party was planning to lure Gus to face the dragon-level spirit beast alone and let him die.

Eswee has seen Gus fight several times. His strength is no problem against ghost-level and wolf-level spirit beasts. He is barely able to deal with tiger-level spirit beasts.

Now that Klia brought up this matter, saying that he had no selfishness, Eswey didn't believe it: "Hey, you..." Isn't this letting Gass die?

It's just that he didn't finish what he wanted to say, and Keriya interrupted him: "So what you need to care about now is not the contracted beast, but your own strength. If your own strength is strong, even if other people have contracted beasts, it's not yours." Opponent." This was said to Gus, he hadn't finished yet, "In the end, so many people want to become knights, but it's just for the glory of becoming a knight."

The most admired profession in the mainland is the knight. Although there are many privileges to be a knight, there are also many restrictions.

There are more than a dozen rules for knights, some of which seem extremely absurd to Keria, but these treaties are things that knights like them need to abide by.

Keriya's words caused the two of them to think deeply. Perhaps they had thought about it before, but they had never thought about it carefully, nor had they said it so openly.

After all, few people take the knights so seriously.

Gus was stunned for a moment, and thought about the literal meaning. The Earl's first sentence was comforting him, but the second sentence...was to make him give up his idea of ​​becoming a knight?

If Gus had been younger, he might have really given up on becoming a knight after hearing what Keria said.But now that he is an adult, he has always aimed to become a knight. To put it more precisely, it is no longer a day and a half for him to become a subordinate knight of Keria. of ideas.

Now Guss asked this way: "My lord, is there something for you?" After saying this, Guss was taken aback for a moment.

Elswey next to him couldn't help laughing out loud.

Gus may not know it, but Eswee knows that Keria has something to do.

Keriya's expression remained unchanged: "How to say?"

"No, it's nothing." Gass hesitated, and at this moment he also realized that he had said something wrong just now. The Earl not only accompanied him to find the contracted beast, but also comforted him.

Keria said: "If you want to know anything, just ask, I don't know how to eat people." He joked first, and then said, "I promised to accompany you to find the contracted beast, Naturally, she will not break her promise."

He is like this on the surface, but only he knows what is going on in his heart.

Keria had only been to this mountain range a few times, and he didn't know the terrain and environment here as well as Gass, except that they were led by Keria at the beginning, and Gass was the guide for the rest of the journey.

Without that cumbersome car, their movement speed is much faster, and they can avoid some spirit beasts directly, which saves them a lot of time.

Before noon, Gus defeated two more spirit beasts. He tried to sign a contract with them, but failed without exception.

But he and Keriya have walked all the way, and their mentality has almost been adjusted, and they are not discouraged by it.

While silently counting the number of times he failed to sign a contract today, Gus even joked: "According to Mr. Esway's suggestion, I think I can buy a book of spirit beasts, and mark the spirit beasts that fail to sign directly." , Just avoid it if you encounter it in the future.”

Keriya and his cooperating laughed twice: "Haha, you are right, but unfortunately we are already in the mountains now, if we haven't come in yet, we can go and buy a copy."

Eswee didn't join in their banter, he and Keria looked in the same direction, they were both on guard.

Gus noticed their strangeness and asked, "What's wrong?"

Keria replied: "I smell blood."

Hearing what Keria said, Gus sniffled, and also smelled a faint smell of blood.

Careless.

If at other times, he came into this mountain range alone or with anyone, he would not have noticed the bloody smell now.

Gus reflected secretly, he couldn't lose his original vigilance just because he was with Keria.

Kria: "It's the smell of human blood."

There is a slight difference between human blood and the blood of spirit beasts. Most people can't tell the difference, but experienced people can smell the difference.

Esway took two steps in the direction of the bloody smell, stopped suddenly, and asked, "What should we do?" If he was alone now, he would go and find out, but now he is "under the control of others", He cannot act rashly.

"Go and have a look," Keria replied.

He walked forward over Esway, walking a distance of more than ten meters, the smell of blood became stronger, and there were blood stains visible to the naked eye on the ground.

There was a person lying on the ground in front of him, motionless, it was unknown whether he was dead or alive, and the smell of blood came from him.

This is also the first person they have encountered since entering the mountains.

The moment he saw this person, Esway ran up directly, ignoring Keriya's reaction.

Keriya didn't expect his move, and it was too late to hold him back, so he could only follow in two or three steps.

Fortunately, the "trap" in Keriya's imagination did not activate. The man was unconscious, with his chest rising and falling. It seemed that he was only seriously injured, not dead.

The man on the ground was dressed in black, not a knight uniform, with light brown hair, frowning, moaning from time to time, as if he was still in pain.

Kelia stood aside, watched as Esway tore off the man's clothes on the ground, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Do you know this man?"

"I don't know you." Eswee replied as a matter of course, he kept moving, exposing the man's abdomen.

There was a fist-sized wound on the man's abdomen, and blood flowed from this wound.

Based on Keriya's experience, it was clear at a glance that the wound was not caused by a spirit beast.

"Then how do you..."

"He's injured, do you need any reason to save someone?" Esway replied, he untied the package on his back and rummaged for something inside.

Keriya shook her head silently, but unfortunately, Esway's attention was completely focused on the man on the ground, so she couldn't see Keriya shaking her head.

Keria asked again, "Are you a doctor?"

Eswee replied, "No. Do you understand the police?"

Before Klia answered, Gus said, "I brought it."

It is not difficult to encounter injured people in the wild. As human beings, they will try their best to help when they can. Now they encounter this unconscious person, and their thoughts are naturally the same.

While Kria was still standing aside watching, Gus had already gone up to help Eswee.
