"Well, I'm going!"
Hop, carrying his backpack, waved his hand back casually, said goodbye to the villagers, and embarked on his own adventure with excitement.
"Am I an adventurer from today on?"
Feel the wind blowing slightly towards your face when you walk forward quickly, bringing a slight smell of grass. Hope only felt that the usual scenes seemed different, everything was beautiful and full of vitality. This is the so-called "emotion affects feeling".
"Well, I want to make a lot of money, and then... cross that chasm!"
Although there is still a trace of reluctance, at the thought of seeing the vast world, the huge world called "Esperol", my reluctance was soon diluted by the enthusiasm of the young people.
"So, where are we going next?"
Hop took the map in his hand and looked at it while walking on the flat road.
"I must go abroad first! It is said that the outside world is full of gold!"
Hope looked at the map and was silent, thinking.
Speaking of it, it seems that grandpa didn't teach me how to look at the map
After thinking for a long time, Hope can only reach this conclusion.
"Ah! That bastard old man must have deliberately! Damn, he said he compromised and gave me a map, but didn't teach me how to look!" Hope suddenly responded.
"He's done it again!" Hope said with gnashing teeth.
"But I can't turn back now! Grandpa didn't want me to come out, and now he will laugh at me!"
"Just because I can't understand the map, I can go abroad as long as I keep walking in one direction!" Hope said angrily.
"Maybe we can find a partner who can understand the map on the road, hey hey." Hop could not help but play his imagination.
"However, when it comes to partners, it's better to have partners... otherwise, it's boring to be alone..."
After all, Hope was just a seventeen year old boy. His inability to read the map was immediately covered up by new ideas, and soon he was forgotten.
"Hmm?"
Before he knew it, Hope had entered a dense forest. The emerald leaves tore the sunlight to pieces and reflected it on Hope.
However, what makes Hope care about is not entering the forest, but what happens after entering the forest, as if he is staring at him.
Hope continued to move forward, but his hand was quietly on the saber at his waist.
"In the back!"
"Howl!"
Only heard a huge roar, a huge white tiger with mottled patterns suddenly jumped out of the forest. The white tiger opened its way with its sharp claws, and its big mouth was inlaid with silver shiny teeth.
The white tiger first overthrew the opponent with its sharp claws and huge weight difference, followed by biting. A clear hunting idea is an experienced "hunter".
"Oh hoo." Fortunately, Hope had been ready and quickly rolled to one side. The sword blade was drawn out at his waist and cut to the huge claws.
"Sizzle."
The red blood suddenly rushed out from the sharp claws and dyed the white giant tiger's fur deeply.
"Howl!"
The white tiger felt the pain, took back its paw and shouted angrily at Hope.
"Is it a monster?" Hope stared.
Although most of the monster animals have been expelled to the "unknown zone" outside the human country, there are still many monster animals hidden in the human country, and many people expose their bodies to the wild every year.
The white tiger can't hit at once. Keep his body shape and gather strength secretly to prepare for the next attack.
Suddenly, the leg muscles of the giant tiger suddenly contracted, the back arched high, and then it was like a spring with good energy storage, and it was ejected to Hope. The huge body drives the trees on both sides to break.
"Ping!"
Hope raised his sword to meet him. The sword and the claw intersected, but he was not inferior at all. Both of them were frozen in the air, and made a harsh and unpleasant friction sound, as if they were about to rub out sparks.
The white tiger's mouth kept making a "grunt grunt" sound, which seemed very angry.
It is angry that the tiny creature in front of it can compete with itself!
The white tiger leaped back suddenly, and then rushed to Hope with its claws. The silver white claws were shining with a shuddering light. Obviously, it is working hard!
"Hey, hey."
Hope looked at the white tiger who attacked him again, not surprised but smiling. He looked normal.
"You are so skilled. You should have killed many people..."
Instead of fighting with the white tiger this time, Hope jumped onto the tree two or three times, then turned over the branches, and finally directly met the huge tiger's paw and jumped up.
"It's a pity that your life of harming others will be ended by me.
"After all..."
Hop took advantage of the opportunity to jump, and then jumped to the top of the white tiger twice, causing the white tiger to shake violently, trying to throw him off.
Hop, by shaking, jumped into the air and raised his sword to his back. His pupils suddenly shrank, his arms grasped, and his sabre suddenly cut out.
"Shua!"
Just heard the "boom", the huge tiger head fell to the ground, and his eyes were bigger than the copper bell. It seemed that he didn't understand how this tiny creature killed himself before he died.
After falling to the ground in a handsome posture that he has practiced for many years, Hope inserted his sword back into the scabbard, turned around, walked to the white tiger, and carefully stroked its fine fur.
"After all, you are expensive!"
Hope muttered to himself.
Hope had been prepared for this situation. He packed the white tiger's fur and some important parts in special sealed bags and stuffed them into his backpack. Although this is the first time in a series of movements, it makes people feel very skilled.
"It's a pity that this white tiger doesn't have a demon pill. If it had a demon pill, it would have made more money." Hope thought regretfully.
"But forget it, only the intelligent monster can have the demon pill, and it is estimated that only the" unknown area "will have such monster." On second thought, Hope got excited again.
"Adventurers are indeed a lucrative profession! They have gained a lot soon after they came out," Hope said with a smile.
The forest is not big, and it takes more than two hours to get out, but Hope didn't meet a monster again, instead, he ate a tiger barbecue.
While walking on the road, there was a faint sound of horses' hooves in the distance. Hope looked curiously into the distance, but saw a tight formation of people and horses passing through from afar.
These people wore cloth armour, and the leader was in a red robe, followed by two black robed men. They rode high headed steeds and overtook Hope within two strokes.
"Sir, there is a man over there..." One of the black robes rode to the side of the red robe and whispered.
"I know, don't worry about it." Hong Pao said dismissively.
"Ordinary people don't even know our existence, and this task is very important. If we don't catch the target, none of us can survive!" Hong Pao explained, whipped his horse and continued to lead the team forward.
Indeed, Hope did not care about the motives of these people at all, just silently calculating in his heart.
"I really want to buy a horse, right? How much does it cost to buy a horse... I don't know if the money for selling White Tiger is enough..."
As the sun gradually set, Hope came to a stream to camp.
The white clouds in the sky are like a burning flame against the setting sun, and the flame lights up the red sky.
"The setting sun is so beautiful..." Hope was sitting by the stream, with the rest of the tiger meat on one side, baking on a simple shelf made of branches, and rich oil dripping into the flames, making a sound.
Why didn't I find it before... It must be a mental problem!
Hope thought to himself.
"Click, click"
Across the stream is a forest. This is the characteristic of Hope's country, the Oude Empire.
This is a country built on a plain. A few hills divide the whole country into 18 regions, which corresponds to the 18 provinces of the European German Empire.
The woods and grasslands are the most common landscapes on the Oude Plain.
However, the sound of trampling on leaves came from the trees on the other side of the stream. It was obvious that someone was coming.
In the shadow of the forest, a girl walked out slowly with a branch on her back, looking weak.
The girl's blue pupils glanced at Hope on the other side, as if he could no longer support him, and fell down.
"Hello!"
Hope quickly put down the branch in his hand and stood up.
Fortunately, the stream is not very deep and the flow rate is very slow, otherwise Hope would not be able to pass.
After carrying the girl on his back, Hope began to look at her carefully.
The silver white long hair is scattered in front of the chest, under the closed blue eyes is a small and slightly cocked nose, and the pink mouth is breathing open and close, giving out a faint fragrance.
There is no doubt that this is a girl with outstanding appearance. Hope has never seen such a beautiful girl in the town where he grew up.
The girl's clothes were damaged, but when she just picked up the girl, it was obvious that her clothes were of extraordinary quality. In addition, the gorgeous patterns on the clothes could reflect the beauty of the clothes.
The girl also wore a sabre around her waist, and the silver handle was inlaid with a valuable sapphire.
"Ah, this man is a rich family at first sight!" Hope saw the sapphire on the sabre and suddenly reacted.
"When she wakes up, she should pay me a lot of money! After all, we saved her..."
Hop could not help laughing when he thought of this.
