Chapter 189 The Shadow of Self-Discipline and the Restless Heart

"Do you have good taste? My husband may not have the capital he does. Like I said, you can definitely live an ordinary life, but..."

Before the drow could continue speaking, Karl had already taken out a fireball wand and pointed it at her.

"You'd better not have any intentions towards Ying. Now, go back to where you should be!"

In the air, a violent arcane energy is gathering rapidly.

The drow following Shadow immediately realized that he was being targeted.

"I just hope that she can join an organization that can change the current situation of Drow. Brother, you don't have to be so excited."

Quickly distancing himself from Karl, the drow immediately hid in the shadows and disappeared.

"Is she gone?"

He turned towards Ying to confirm. After seeing Ying nod, Karl dispelled the energy condensed by the wand.

"If I hadn't had some ideas about the power armor, and I was renovating it right now, I would have summoned the power armor just now. Although I don't know what that guy said, but don't take it to heart, Hope and I will definitely Help you."

After patting Ying's head, Karl lifted up the motorcycle that he had put down in a hurry and motioned for Ying to sit in the back seat.

After hesitating for a moment, Ying still obeyed Karl's words and sat on the motorcycle.

"Buzz——"

The roar of the engine sounded again, and the motorcycle drove into the tunnel.

"How did you know that I was back and that I was being pestered?"

On the way back to the base, Shadow asked about the reason for Carl's sudden appearance.

She didn't think that Karl used his spiritual power to predict that she was in danger, so she rushed over to rescue him.

"I set up mystical eye traps around the tunnel exit. V saw your situation, so I rode over here."

"Thanks."

"Hi~ We're all friends."

While talking, the two of them had returned to the underground ruins.

With motorcycles, traveling to and from the surface is indeed much faster.

It didn't take long for the two to arrive at the base.

Hope had already been waiting at the entrance of the base. When she saw Ying coming back, she asked with great concern:

"Shadow, are you okay?"

After asking, Hope also cast a healing spell on Ying, as if he was afraid that Ying would hide it and not retaliate.

"I'm fine. I'm sorry for making you worry."

While talking, the three of them walked into the base together.

Ying was a little shy about her experience, so Karl decided to build a more useful set of armor and weapons for her in the near future.

"Obviously your fellow clan member doesn't intend to give up on you just like that. Now that she knows we live here, she might come back again in a while. How about this, I'll upgrade your equipment."

"ah?"

Hearing that Karl wanted to upgrade his equipment, Ying Yi couldn't think of anything he needed to upgrade for a moment.

Like Hope, the barbarian, Shadow, as a monk, also has the professional characteristic of unarmored defense.

However, Shadow is more accustomed to using cloth armor as his own armor, which is slightly different from Hope.

Karl couldn't change the style of the clothes that looked like a ninja suit, but he could change the fabric of the clothes.

"Hmph! Are you looking down on me? Hope's armor is made of high-strength organic materials with great effort by me. Your problem is not a problem for me."

With that said, Karl waved to the two women and led them to the second floor of the base.

V was operating the construction machinery, continuing to expand the space on the second floor according to Karl's ideas, while not far away, several production lines were making something in an orderly manner.

Taking the two of them forward, Karl twisted a thin thread and showed it to Ying.

"Look, this is a thread woven from carbon fiber and other materials. Use this thing to make a ninja suit for you. It must be very strong."

As if he was afraid that Ying wouldn't believe it, Karl took out a dagger directly from the dimensional bag and cut it on the silk thread.

Sure enough, the toughness of the thread was quite reliable. Instead of cutting the thread, the dagger seemed to have created a gap.

Although Ying has very strict requirements for himself and does not want to become a person who relies too much on equipment, after all, he has a magic weapon master friend, so this kind of thing cannot be avoided.

"What about weapons?"

"Hey! Don't be busy with weapons. Equipment is more than just armor and weapons. Look at this. These are spider walking shoes, which allow you to walk directly vertically and upside down without using your hands. These are eagle eye lenses. I specially Made into contact lenses, you can see farther when you put them on, and there is also this, a free movement ring. When you put it on, ordinary spells can't slow you down. "

In an instant, the three vacant slots for synchronized equipment were filled.

In fact, Karl wanted to equip Shadow with these things a long time ago, but she felt that Khorvaire was safe, so she never accepted it.

After hesitantly taking over the equipment, Ying put them on one by one under Karl's guidance and gave a demonstration.

"How is it? Isn't it much more convenient? There is no shame in relying on equipment. Intelligent life must be good at using various equipment to be called intelligent life!"

After finally getting the opportunity to work in an educational film, Karl finally vented his little dissatisfaction.

Ying valued skills and abilities more than equipment, so he often persuaded Carl, an artificer, to exercise more.

Now, it was finally time for Karl to feel proud.

"Yeah! It's really convenient."

Looking at his hands with bright eyes, Ying couldn't believe that those movements that were very difficult for him before could be done with such a small instrument.

"I still need some time to build your weapon, but you can look forward to it. That thing can be regarded as my work of ingenuity."

Seeing Ying looking at him expectantly, Karl gave in for a rare moment.

But this is actually not his fault, because it is still just an idea.

"Then I'll trouble you!"

After bowing and thanking him in a very craftsmanlike spirit, Ying ran to exercise again with excitement in his heart.

"How about it? Do you want to upgrade your weapons and equipment as well? I feel that I have quite a lot of inspiration recently."

Seeing the shadow leave, Karl immediately got close to Hope.

In his simultaneous interactions with Hope and Nia, his current level of communication is not particularly strong.

"Then I'll trouble you!"

With a slightly teasing smile, Hope reproduced Ying's lines, then left the second floor of the base and went to the first floor to prepare for lunch.

After wiping the sweat from his forehead, Karl sighed.

"Fortunately, Hope and Nia are not the kind of people who like to be jealous. If it were those jealous people, maybe this guy Fingying wouldn't be able to stay in the team.

We will have to try to recruit two fellow adventurers after a while. If there are only three of us in the base, the atmosphere will become increasingly strange. "

After muttering in a low voice, Karl immediately started working on modifying Hope and Shadow's weapons and equipment.

There was no need to ask specifically about Shadow's figure for the new ninja uniform. As a level 9 weapon master, Karl could tell her figure data at a glance.

…

"Huh~ Damn it, why are the monks' senses so sharp when they meditate!"

Two nights later, Ying began to meditate as usual, but the noise caused by Carl and Hope made her nervous.

The double superposition of psychic energy and meditation amplified the originally not very obvious sound of Mi Mi to a level that made Ying's mouth dry. The scenes she had witnessed a few days ago began to resurface in her mind.

As a drow in adolescence (around 70 years old), Shadow has a tough mind that has been tempered for a long time.

But I don't know if it's because the things he saw recently have shaken his will, but Ying feels that his curiosity about the opposite sex is growing rapidly.

Sighing, she took out a totem stone from her pocket.

Engraved on the stone is a simplified bat pattern. Once upon a time, this was the spiritual object inhabited by the totem spirit of the tribe where Ying lived.

But now, this thing has completely become an ordinary object of faith.

The drow are divided into three forces according to their beliefs.

One is the drow who believe in various totem spirits, but as the spirits of many tribes have lost their power, most of these races have now turned to Rose;

The second is Obsidian City, which believes in fire, but these drow live in a huge cave near the lava river, and have little contact with ordinary drow who believe in spirits;

The third and final type of drow live in the demiplane of the dungeon, master a strange shadow-shaping magic, and engage in a long-term struggle with mutated demons and various strange monsters.

Looking at the object of his faith, Ying tried his best to calm down.

But the more she did this, the more sensitive her perception became and her hearing became clearer and clearer.

Finally, as Hope suddenly turned up the volume, Ying could no longer maintain his meditation, and dropped the totem stone in his hand in a sudden emotional outburst.

"Click"

The totem stone hit the wall and broke into pieces.

Ying's pupils shrank and his body froze in place.

"I wonder if those large tribes whose spirits have not dissipated now have people who believe in Rose..."

I don't know what kind of mood he was holding, but Ying suddenly whispered this sentence.

And after she finished speaking, she was shocked to realize that her thoughts had already deviated from the path she thought she was on.

Inexplicably, the words that the drow persuaded her from before appeared in Ying's mind.

"It should be okay to relax a little, right?"

When this idea emerged in Ying's mind, it took over all her thoughts out of control.

Turning off the lights, Ying tiptoed out of his room.

As the barrier of the wall was reduced by one layer, the sound became clearer.

Slowly walking to the door of Carl and Hope's room, Ying sat on the ground, his two slender purple thighs overlapped each other, and the color on his skin gradually became brighter.

As Hope's voice gradually increased, Shadow seemed to feel that relying on two legs alone was not enough, so he stretched out his fingers.

Early the next morning, a refreshed Karl was about to go to the second floor of the base to continue the unfinished work. When the results came out, he found some faint watermarks on the door.

He didn't take it seriously, he just thought someone had spilled the water here.

But when he came to the second floor, he found that Ying, who was doing morning exercises every day, was not there.
