Six months later.
March, the warm month, the beginning of spring, the day when all things come to life.
The vast area in the north of the main continent has been affected by the rising temperature. The earth has begun to be dyed with a layer of green. Various yellow, white, and blue wildflowers emerge from the moist soil, dotting the fields like a carpet.
In the southern part of the main continent, the vitality is even more obvious. In a remote forest, there are many tall trees. The branches and leaves that have turned white in winter are all restored to life at this moment. They look lush and green everywhere, like a vast ocean.
In this green ocean, two figures suddenly appeared, a man and a woman, both very young, traveling quickly through the forest.
The surface of their bodies shone with the sheen of magic. Each of them held a huge one-meter-square lead box in each hand, and they continued to cross obstacles in the forest, and finally arrived at a small open space in the forest.
"Brush it!"
There was a sound, and with the appearance of two figures, a female figure with short ear-length hair flashed out from behind the trees, looking somewhat heroic.
The short-haired woman first glanced at the two people who were coming, and then asked aloud: "Have you brought what we want?"
"Obviously." Among the two people who came, the young woman raised the lead box in her hand and answered. Her long hair was tied up with a ribbon and tied behind her back, forming a lively ponytail that beat slightly as she spoke.
After answering, the pony-tailed woman looked at the short-haired woman and asked: "I brought what you want, but what about what we want? Have you brought it?"
"Don't worry, I won't forget it." The short-haired woman also lifted the thing she was carrying, which was also a box. However, the size is much smaller than that of the woman with the ponytail - only about 20 centimeters long and wide, and only a few centimeters thick, like a small file bag.
The woman with the ponytail looked at it and nodded slightly, then said: "Very good, in that case, you can open the box and let me take a look. After I make sure that you have not deceived me, I will give you what you want."
After hearing this, the short-haired woman raised her eyebrows and said in a provocative voice: "Why, why don't you open the box first and let me see what you brought?"
As these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly became a little tense.
The two women looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you, their eyes met in mid-air, neither of them willing to give in.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Soon, more than ten seconds passed.
Next to him, the only man, Gro, couldn't help but sigh after seeing this situation. His arms swayed, as if he couldn't bear the weight of the box he was carrying, and he put the box on the ground with a "dong" sound.
"call-"
Gro breathed out, rolled his eyes slightly, and said to Anne Pompeo and Nancy: "Hey, do I think it is necessary for you two to compete like this? Whoever shows first, isn't it the same? What if you two If we don’t want to give in to each other, can we open it together and look at it? I..."
Before Gro could finish his words, he was interrupted.
"Shut up!"
Anne with short hair and Nancy with ponytail said almost in unison.
Gro's words stopped for a moment: "..."
Anne made a nasal sound, and the arrogance she once had as the eldest lady of the Pangbo family in St. Louis City completely returned to her at this moment. She glanced at her and said: "A rookie is not qualified to speak here."
Gro's expression froze, and he couldn't help but retorted: "I'm not a rookie, I'm the person sent by the mine to connect with you, okay? Even though I'm not the main person in charge, you can't despise me. By the way, I also know the boss behind you, Mr. Richard, and we are friends, very good friends."
"Haha, some status that you don't rely on your own strength can't change your rookie nature. You are not even a formal wizard. What are you if you are not a rookie? Believe it or not, I can beat you ten times!" Annie said unceremoniously road.
"I..." The muscles on Gro's face were a little twisted, and he couldn't help but want to step forward and teach Annie a lesson to prove that he was not so weak. But seeing Annie's aura, she shrank her neck and gave up the idea.
But he didn't give up completely and turned to look at Nancy.
In his opinion, Nancy is in the same camp as him after all. She almost scolded the hateful Annie just now. Now that she heard the other party's outrageous words, she will definitely help him get justice, right
Sure enough, the next moment he saw a bit of anger on Nancy's face, as if she was a little dissatisfied with Anne's words, with a serious and serious expression, her lips were slightly opened, and she made a sound.
"I could hit him twelve times."
ah
What
Gro was stunned, and it took him three seconds to realize what Nancy meant.
At this time, Anne listened, slightly dissatisfied, and corrected with a hum: "When I said I beat him ten times, I meant that I didn't use all my strength. If I used my full strength, I could beat him twenty times."
"When I say, beat him twelve times, I also mean that I don't have all my strength. If I use all my strength, I can beat him twenty-five!" Nancy followed.
A faint smell of gunpowder suddenly filled the air.
Anne and Nancy looked at each other again.
Gro looked at this and that, scratched his head, and felt something was wrong.
Something is really wrong.
By the way, shouldn't it be Nancy who helps him regain his dignity? What's the point of comparing combat prowess with each other now? Shouldn't Nancy be with him? Why does he feel that he is alone now
Things seem to be developing in a strange direction.
You two must have done this on purpose, right? Or maybe he practiced water spells too much and his head was filled with water... Gro looked at the two of them, the corners of his mouth twitching, full of malicious slander.
But he only thought about it in his heart for a while. In reality, he neither dared to say nor ask.
One second, another second, another second.
As Annie and Nancy's eyes met, time passed quickly. Just when Grotto was thinking about how long they would last, a wolf howled from deep in the forest.
"Ouch-"
"Puff, puff, puff..."
After the howl of the wolf, there was the sound of rapid running and breathing.
With a sudden "swipe", a tall gray wolf, more than one meter tall and more than two meters long, jumped out of the forest and landed in the open space where the three of them were.
The gray wolf paved the ground, looking a little irritable, but did not attack the three of them. He just kept growling in his mouth, as if urging something.
"Well, well, well..."
"It seems that the one who is waiting is a little anxious." Annie glanced at the gray wolf and said with understanding. Her tone rarely softened, and she looked at Nancy and said, "Let's not delay it any longer, just like the rookie just now That’s right, let’s show it together and take a look.”
"Okay." Nancy agreed.
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
The sound rang out, and the two of them opened the boxes in their hands at the same time, revealing the contents.
I saw that half of Nancy's huge box contained gray powder with strong corrosive energy floating out.
The contents in Annie's small box were relatively simple, all filled with sparkling crystals.
