Chapter 1138 Stranger at the Door

I want to think about it, but a good ranking requires good strength to get it.

If you want to have good strength, you have to work hard to farm monsters, hone your tacit understanding, and also know the combat strategies of the opponent guild.

If you want to find out the opponent's guild's combat strategy, you can only use two methods. The first is to seduce and use clichés. This method is feasible, but it does not last long and requires a lot of effort. It is not worth the gain just to get a ranking; the second is It is just on-the-spot observation, which depends on the actual combat experience. Those with rich actual combat experience can know almost at a glance. Those with insufficient actual combat experience can only be passively beaten in various ways.

How can we enrich our practical experience? After much deliberation, the simplest way is to go to dungeons to farm monsters, get a better understanding of each other, and at the same time summarize my shortcomings.

After going around in a circle and returning to the starting point, it turns out that killing monsters is the most basic and hard truth.

Think about it, if you're not strong enough and can't withstand a round of attacks, then no matter how good your tactics are, what's the point?

If the strength explodes, the field will be cleared in one attack. What other tactics are needed? Just crush them!

More than a week has passed since I was named an elder, and there are only ten days until the Zephyr Championship begins.

On this day, after clearing the monsters, I walked home with everyone else - because Emily had to participate in the training of the elite team of the Rose Legion, the competition was temporarily canceled.

When he was about to reach the door, he saw Remi pointing forward and said, "Look, there's a guy sitting in front of our house!"

"Huh?" We all looked at the door, and indeed, there was a man wrapped in a rag robe, holding his chin, sitting in front of my house. He was wearing a hood, so he couldn't see his appearance, and his body was covered with a thick layer of clothing. Wrapped in a rag robe, the body shape could not be seen, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman.

I subconsciously stretched out my hand to stop everyone and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go up first to inquire about the situation."

"Be careful," Phoenix said worriedly.

"Don't worry, if anything goes wrong, I will run away." I grinned and said, "I can run at a speed that most people can't catch up with~"

"Pull him down, you run much slower than me," Billy said disdainfully.

"Yes, you are not an ordinary person," I chuckled, "you are a pervert."

Billy was so irritated by me that he was about to argue with me, but Gordo covered his mouth.

I quietly approached the man and slowly unsheathed the Naotachi sword in my hand, just waiting for me to take action immediately if the man made a strange move.

As I got closer step by step, the man was still holding his chin and motionless, like a sculpture. I became even more nervous, and my steps subconsciously became lighter and slower.

Not long after, I was only two steps away from that person. This distance was the ultimate distance that I could resist attacks. Within this distance, I was sure to block or dodge any attack.

I don't know why the man with his chin is motionless. Is he trying to lure me closer to him and then attack me?

If this is the case, then this person is definitely not simple. It can be said that he is not only formidable, but also extremely courageous.

But is he really here to assassinate us?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but frown, carefully took off the Odachi, and gently handed it over. I planned to use the action of lifting the man's hood to lure him to take action.

If this person refuses to show his true face, then when I lift his hood, he will definitely find a way to dodge or deflect my knife.

If this person wants to kill me, he will definitely attack me violently while opening my knife.

This is what most adventurers would do, and I bet he would do the same.

As long as he does this, I can legitimately launch a killing move against him. Moreover, as I just said, the two-step distance is the limit distance that I can dodge and resist all attacks. As long as this distance is not shortened, I am not afraid of him having any attacks. Tricky.

In the process of handing over the knife, I felt proud of my careful planning.

The scabbard touched the hood and slowly lifted the corner. However, the man still didn't move. Was he waiting for me to be more aggressive before taking action?

Subconsciously, I felt uneasy, but now that I had taken action, there was no chance of looking back.

Thinking of this, my heart skipped a beat, and I turned and picked up the tip of the scabbard. In an instant, the man's true appearance appeared in front of me. I was startled: It turned out to be...

With a clang, the two swords fell to the ground.

Everyone was shocked, thinking that something had happened to me, so they all picked up weapons and rushed towards me.

Perhaps the crowd was too loud when they rushed over. The man leaning on his chin slowly woke up, his sleepy eyes were soft and sleepy, and he blinked twice. When he saw me clearly in front of him, he suddenly let out an exclamation, and then he jumped from the ground. Get up and rush over.

The moment I was hugged, I was still in a sluggish state, and I didn't even feel the two soft and fierce masses pressing on my chest.

The roars of the crowd disappeared, and each one of them stood motionless like a clay doll.

After a while, I finally came to my senses. I subconsciously raised my arms, gently hugged the man, and said, "Long time no see."

"Yes." There were tears in the corners of the man's eyes and his smile was as bright as a flower: "It's been several years since I last saw you, Xiaoyi."

Once upon a time, when I was still a first-level novice adventurer, I met a strange girl.

This girl was very beautiful, but she never cared about her clothes. Moreover, when we met her, she was lying in a hidden corner on the first floor of the dungeon, sleeping soundly.

Out of kindness, I went over to wake her up and reminded her not to sleep here as she would become a snack for the monster.

The girl didn't care about my words. She just stretched out her soft little hands, gently rubbed her sleepy eyes, let out a sticky moan, and asked me: "Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."

I gave her the last steamed bun on my body, and she took a bite. When she was chewing, she raised her head and saw me swallowing. After thinking about it, she tore the steamed bun open and divided it into two halves. She continued to eat the uneaten half. , the other half was given to me with a bite.

At first, I just felt that this girl really didn't understand the ways of the world. Either you eat it all, or you give me half of the good stuff. What does it mean if you give me a bite?

But I was also very hungry at the time, so I took the steamed bun and ate it without thinking.

I thought the girl would leave after eating the steamed buns, but she stuck to me from then on and walked with me, inseparable.

She was very sloppy and I always scolded her. During the day we would fight monsters together and at night we would sleep together on the stone floor in the garden. If it got cold, rainy or snowy, we would pool our money and go to the shabbiest basement of the hotel to hug each other. And sleep.

Although life was hard, I felt that this was the best time in my life.

And she is the first person who is willing to accompany me since I became an adventurer, laughing with me and worrying with me.

Originally, I thought that we could go on like this forever, forever, until that day.
