"Hey, kid, don't go."
Seeing that the other party was about to disappear from sight in a few jumps, Tom didn't know what to think, so he hurriedly got down from the tree and chased after him.
He felt that he accidentally kicked someone with a strong force, so he was a little sorry. Besides, he was a little worried about a child walking alone in the forest. The little slave who sneaked out of the noble family, as a good young man with three views, since he saw it, he couldn't just ignore it.
Xu Zhi wasn't in the mood to pay attention to the non-mainstream young man following behind him. He walked all the way deep into the forest, carefully erasing the traces, and didn't stop until he was sure that the possibility of the hero and heroine finding him had been minimized. rest.
The brilliance of the setting sun shone through layers of leaves, the boy's face was a little blurred under the shadows, sweat slid down his cheeks, and the whole person looked a bit tired, a pair of golden eyes that should have been bright and clear saw the visitor, But in an instant, it became deeper and deeper, unfathomable.
That's not the look a child should have at all!
Tom paused just as he was about to reach out to touch his head, but a few seconds later he felt that it was his own illusion, so he withdrew his hand and sat down next to Xu Zhi.
"Kid, what are you running, do I look scary?" Tom tried to sound soft and believable.
He just used a random teleportation scroll in desperation, but was suddenly thrown here.
Xu Zhi turned his head to look at him, and then turned his head quickly, his eyes almost wrote two words: disgusted!
No one has ever scorned his beauty so much! Tom felt an arrow in his heart. He took a few deep breaths and kept saying "I don't care about little kids" in his heart.
In fact, in all fairness, Tom's face is indeed very good, with well-defined outlines, deep features, and very moving green eyes. He can be called a standard western handsome man, provided that there is no colorful hair that seems to be messed up.
Xu Zhi couldn't look directly at him for too long, he felt that his eyes were going to be burned by the colorful light.
As it was getting late, Xu Zhi felt thirsty in his throat and hungry in his stomach. After recovering some of his strength, he stood up and took a step. Tom beside him quickly patted his ashes and stood up and asked, "Where are you going?"
Xu Zhi paused, then said flatly, "Hunting."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Tom to speak, he vigorously jumped to a big tree in front of him, quietly observed the movement around him for a while, jumped a few times, and then went to the other side.
Tom's eyes lit up, hunting? He is a high-level magic swordsman, with just a few tricks, the prey is still easy to catch, let this defiant child see how powerful he is!
Thinking of this, he quickly glanced around, and set off with his sword in hand.
This forest is located outside the city of Alenkerman. It was originally under the jurisdiction of the Randir Empire in the west. There are few monsters here, and even if they appear, they are the lowest-level ones. Adventurers have long lost interest in this place, and instead made this area a paradise for ordinary wild animals.
Xu Zhi's gaze was as bright as a torch, as if he had turned back into the vigorous silver wolf back then, and he shot quickly and accurately. Even though the wild boar locked by him struggled hard, and even left a few wounds on his body in a rage, he still couldn't escape being hit by the sword. The fate of piercing the heart.
When the disheveled Tom found Xu Zhi, what he saw was this: the young boy was carrying a huge wild boar. The boar must have been several times bigger than the boy, but he didn't blush. , out of breath, even once he released the prey, he handled it skillfully and quickly.
Tom was startled, and a hare that he had finally caught in his hand fell to the ground.
How much power is hidden in such a seemingly thin body? How much has this child suffered
Xu Zhi handled the wild boar meat neatly, completely unaware that the former protagonist on one side had already imagined his rough and tragic childhood in a short period of time, and he only glanced at Tom when he set up a fire to fix the meat skewers. Rarely beckoned kindly: "Come here."
Tom obediently came over and sat down, looking at him with complicated eyes.
Xu Zhi ignored his gaze, and after a while, he handed over a skewer of meat and said, "Eat it."
The portion of this wild boar is too big, even though he only picks the best quality meat, he can't solve it by himself. In order not to waste food, he should be more generous.
Tom was flattered. The kid who had a stinking face and ignored him a second ago now offered to grill meat for him. Sure enough, he only pretended to be a cold shell because he had been hurt too much since he was a child. Do you recall your kind heart
Tom took a bite full of emotion, and almost didn't spit it out. No matter how good the meat is roasted without any ingredients, for him, a noble young master who grew up with rich clothes and fine clothes, he still swallowed it like a stick in his throat. He looked up to see what the elf ate. With relish, he couldn't help feeling sad again.
Looking at the elf like this, has he been growing up alone, never touched real food, and even such rough food can satisfy him
Tom suddenly felt a sense of responsibility in his heart. He must be specially sent by heaven to save this poor elf!
Wait... Elf
Only then did Tom, who was belatedly aware of it, realize that elves have always been vegetarians, haven't they? In front of him... Uh, what's the matter with being so unrestrained? !
He thought so, and asked out of his mouth uncontrollably.
"I'm not an elf," Xu Zhi's golden eyes flickered in the fire, his voice was cold, "I'm a half-elf."
Tom's heart skipped a beat and he stopped talking.
--
Waking up the next day, Xu Zhi pushed aside the green branches and leaves covering his head, and saw Tom under the tree at a glance. He seemed to be still asleep, curled up in a ball, his brows were frowned, obviously sleeping very restlessly.
He jumped lightly and landed on the ground smoothly. After hesitating on the spot for a while, he still squatted down and pushed Tom's shoulder, "Hey, wake up."
Tom's eyes opened suddenly, the green eyes were extremely sharp, without any sleepiness, but soon, those eyes were covered by a layer of mist.
Xu Zhi frowned, took a step back, and saw Tom rubbing his eyes and standing up, looking unsteady.
"Good morning, uh... would you mind telling me your name?"
"Abel." Xu Zhi nodded slightly at him, his expression unchanged, "Good morning."
In fact, after one night, Tom has become much more pleasing to Xu Zhi's eyes. Of course, it's not because of his friendship with eating meat, but because Tom finally used the ice blade to cut his long hair with his sincere suggestion last night. Sending a knife to cut his hair short, the sense of disobedience suddenly eased a lot. Now, in his eyes, it is just wearing a colorful plush hat, and he can barely see it. He is also willing to say a few more words, After all, in any case, to some extent, the original protagonists Tom and Abel are a bit sympathetic.
Even in the plot, Tom went through fire and water many times for Ke Feier, but Ke Feier never looked at him more, but was always on guard. Even Abel, who was raised by his side since childhood, Ke Feier never really believed in him.
In other words, although Mayfair has so many men, she has very little sincerity. Her favorite is always only herself.
So even if Tom broke a hand for her, she just cried once, even if Abel died for her in the end, she still cried once as a result.
There are all kinds of men around her, and there is never a shortage of such one or two.
From this point of view, the copy says that the protagonist is infatuated and kind, but Xu Zhi really doesn't know what the author's mentality is
Perhaps, the author is just a little girl who loves fantasy.
Xu Zhi didn't ask Tom why he suddenly appeared here, and he didn't need to ask, because although the plot was just a passing mention, he could also guess that the other party probably provoked someone who shouldn't be provoked, so he hurriedly teleported here Here, if he hadn't appeared, Tom and Ke Feier would meet for the first time shortly thereafter.
Xu Zhi sighed slightly, glanced at Tom who was following closely behind him, and slowed down without any trace.
The two stayed in the forest for another half a month before passing through this area and heading west all the way to the gate of the border city of the Randir Empire.
Because of Tom's status as a senior magic swordsman, the guards didn't dare to do more interrogation, and the two entered the city smoothly. Tom bought another bamboo hat for Xu Zhi to cover his ears, so he found a hotel to rest up.
Xu Zhi's original plan was to recuperate in the forest for a while after leaving Kefei'er, and then go to the Randyll Empire to find out some news. Now that he has Tom, although he may get into a little trouble, it will undoubtedly be much smoother.
At least, Tom had a lot of money in his pocket.
Xu Zhi still insisted on completing the daily practice meticulously, but the difference was that in the past, if he encountered any problems during meditation, he would always solve them by himself. He went to the encyclopedia dictionary, but it also answered a lot of doubts for him.
His mental strength is getting better and better, and soon he is only a step away from a junior magician.
At this time, Tom, who had tasted a little bit of being a teacher, enthusiastically suggested that he could teach him some basic sword skills.
Xu Zhi glanced at him with a half-smile, then took out his chipped sword, and performed a set of swordsmanship on the spot, flowing freely, free and easy, as if he had practiced thousands of times, and each sword was just right, Not fancy, but concise and powerful.
Putting away the sword, Xu Zhi stood where he was, and touched the cold hilt with his fingers involuntarily, with nostalgic eyes.
