Chapter 15: Departure 【Ilay】
"Okay, it's going well!" Tolanche patted the back of Ayre's hand, "How about it, have you felt the power?"
Alay did feel the power—but it was already overwhelmed by a huge sense of panic.
The pattern on the back of the hand, Aile looked quite familiar - a red double diamond.
In the dream, Aly saw that the reinforced runes on the back of his right hand were this shape.
"Well, what's wrong? Why are your expression so weird?" Tolanche couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw Elle's expression was very bad: "The placement of enhanced runes will not have any side effects on the human body... What's wrong with you?"
"No... nothing." Aley waved his hand, "just remembered that dream."
The "seed" was sown when Alay was not noticed at all; now it is the time to grow fruit. What Roshi said now Ire understands more deeply.
Will the fate in the future be constantly approaching the future revealed by the dream? Ai Lei stared at the reinforced rune: If I don’t want this rune, will it be considered a change of the future?
That is impossible! Even if you let go of its powerful effect, this is the legacy left to you by grandpa! How can you abandon it at will? Aly shook his head and threw away that unreliable idea from his mind.
"That's the future, don't worry now!" Tolanche advised, "Why, try the effect of this reinforcement rune first?"
Ailey nodded and tried to wave the iron sword with his right hand; he felt that his strength seemed much greater than before!
If you try to input a little more magic power, the effect will be even more obvious! Ailei feels that if he had the help of this enhanced rune, he would not have been defeated in such a mess when he fought against the strong man of the Corey clan!
"This should be of great help to you... Now, I have handed over this rune to you, and finally lived up to his entrustedness... Let's go, and come back that day when you succeed!"
After saying goodbye to Teacher Tolanche, Ayre officially embarked on his journey to Baiyan City.
White Rock City is located west of Ster Village; as Tolanche said before, it takes more than a day to get there. Of course, the carriage can be faster, but the village of Ster is no longer there, so naturally there will be no carriages - even if there is one, Alay does not intend to spend money on it now.
The path connecting Baiyan City and Ste Village is this small road that can barely allow a carriage to pass through - the last time Aly took this road was a few years ago, and that time Clay planned to take him to the big city to see the world...
"A few years have passed, and the road is still the same..." Aire walked in the middle of the road with great strides, looking at the surroundings - there were grass, shrubs, trees growing wildly, and there was no beauty at all.
Even if you walk in the middle of the road, you don’t have to worry about hindering the carriage - because there is no carriage at all. Ailey feels that there will be no problem with sleeping on the road.
The road is not wide, and it seems bumpy due to disrepair. Usually, a carriage passes by here for ten days and half a month. Generally, villagers from Stee Village go to Baiyan City to buy goods. Since Stee Village no longer exists, this road may completely lose its function.
After leaving at noon, Ailey felt a little hungry after leaving for half an afternoon; he took out a small piece of bread from the small package he carried and stuffed it into his mouth - the bread didn't taste very well, and it became worse after compacting it.
I have to find a way to eat something good.
There are not many monsters on this road, and even if there are, they are all the weakest "tin" level; there are quite a few wild beasts, but Ailey cannot use the iron sword in his hand to hunt them - they are all very alert, and their first reaction when they see everyone is to run; whether it is a rabbit or a deer, the best way to hunt them is bows and arrows and traps.
Only those who are brave and aggressive and have strong offensive monsters will take the initiative to attack when they see people.
If Aly wants to improve his food, he will definitely have to start with them.
After eating half a loaf of bread, Ailey felt that his strength had recovered a little; he walked into the woods beside the road, looking for something to eat - besides monsters and wild beasts, if you are lucky, you can also find some tree fruits; Clay taught him what kind of tree fruits to eat, which is a necessary skill to survive in the wild.
Ailey was very lucky - he didn't walk far away and encountered a small wild apple tree.
This apple tree is not much taller than Ailey, and it is obviously not much older. Compared with other trees next to it, its branches and leaves look much sparse. Ailey circled the apple tree twice, and there were only three or four apples on it that reached the level of "eating".
Take one off and try it! Alay took off the largest and most rosy one, wiped the dust on it with his sleeve, and took a bite.
Well... the taste is quite crisp. Ailey nodded while chewing. Although it was not very delicious and a little astringent, the sweet and sour feeling was much stronger than the shriveled and tasteless toast. Ailey put down the package and planned to put the remaining apples in as reserve food.
However, as soon as Aly put down the package, the sound of dead leaves came from not far away.
Alay looked in the direction of the sound - there was a wild boar with a shoulder height of a few points higher than Alay's knees; its hair was pitch black and bright, and its two light green fangs were almost as long as Alay's forearm; its red eyes stared at Alay, as if it was about to launch an attack.
Obviously, it is here to forage.
So is Ellei.
Then there is nothing to say - there is nothing to say; Alay held the iron sword tightly in his hands and was ready for battle.
This kind of monster is also common nearby: the blue-toothed wild boar, and its mark is the green fangs that are different from ordinary wild boars.
Compared with ordinary wild boars, the blue-toothed wild boar is larger - half a person tall after adulthood; the strength is even more terrifying - its brute force can easily overturn a bull to the ground.
According to the plan of the Adventurers Guild, the Blue Toothed Wild Boar is a "copper"-level monster; of course, the one in front of him is not an adult, and his strength is the best among the "tin"-level ones.
Generally speaking, a "tin"-level monster needs to be joined by several "tin wolf"-level mercenaries; although Aley has not fought with the "tin"-level monster before, he feels that he can give it a try with the help of the enhanced runes!
After all, the other party doesn't look very powerful; it doesn't seem that powerful from the perspective of being a big shot; I have even defeated the "Bronze Jackal" level warrior, let alone this "tin" level monster? After all, I'm one level short of it!
Before Ai Lei could finish his motivation, a fierce light flashed in the wild boar's eyes and attacked the two-legged beast in front of him.
Chapter completed!
