Three days ago, after a five-day hunt, Andrea dragged her exhausted body and went to sell furs and tusks with her friend Tamela.
The standard team of an adventurer team should originally be five people, a mage, a sword and shield, a tank, a thief, and a hunter.
This kind of team has the most reasonable ratio and complementary capabilities. It is a standard team configuration that has been popular for hundreds of years.
Andrea was originally in a complete team with her good friends who graduated from De Aire College with her.
It was supposed to be the beginning of an adventure story full of youth and passion, but unexpectedly, in less than half a year, the team was already torn apart.
Hunting dangerous monsters in the jungle is different from what they imagined when they were in the academy, with bad weather, dirty mud, and creepy bugs.
There are more and more complaints and conflicts.
As everyone gradually adapted to this kind of life, Andrea's friends gradually advanced to the bronze level, showing great talents, and left the team one by one. In the end, only she and her best friend Tamira, who is a thief by profession, were left.
When the harvest from a hard day's hunting was converted into thirty silver coins, Andrea finally showed a tired and satisfied smile. She wanted to give half of it to Tamira, because it was the result of their joint efforts.
But the kind friend did not accept it, but bowed and apologized.
"I'm sorry, Leah! I have to leave!"
Andrea can still recall the forced look on Tamira's face when she tried to save him...
She must be in trouble, right? After all, Tamira is about to reach the silver level and can follow a larger adventure group to develop further away.
If you keep staying with a person with poor talent like yourself, staying on the edge of De'er City, and grabbing the leftovers from others with those "old people", you will definitely have no future!
Haha, there's nothing we can do about it...
Da da da!
The sound of tapping on the table woke up the dazed Andrea, and she slowly raised her face with a drunken face. Finding that her vision was blurry, she raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, and then her normal vision returned.
A man with black hair stood in front of him. He looked quite young. What was he here for
Xiang En looked at Andrea, whose eyes were still a little confused. A soft white light flashed through his hands, and he kneaded out three square pieces of bread and handed them to Andrea.
"Eat something to sober up, and we can discuss the topic later."
Andrea was like a person who had just woken up and subconsciously took the bread before thinking about it, with a confused expression on her face.
Xiang En sat opposite Andrea and looked curiously at the red-haired woman in front of him.
The bright red hair is tied together with a simple band, which does not affect the activity, let alone the appearance.
The camel red cheeks are not rough, the eyes are also red, and the facial features are just the same, just one pair of eyes, ears, one nose, and one mouth!
Xiang En feels that she is quite eye-catching. Her facial features are very delicate as if they were artificially carved, and there is no harshness of forced modification. She looks good no matter which direction she looks at.
As long as his temper is not bad, there aren't many bad habits.
The touch of the bread in her hand made Andrea finally get rid of her drunken state. She looked back and forth between the bread and Xiang En, who was sitting on the wooden chair in front of her. Finally, she bit down on the bread.
The taste of the bread that has been upgraded to Level 3 is not much better than that of high-quality white bread. Boss Mike's impression is still at the time when Xiang En's bread skills were at Level 1. Xiang En's current bread is really not that hard to swallow.
At least Andrea ate quickly. Five pieces of bread were stacked on top of each other and finished in half a minute.
After finishing the meal, he drank up the remaining half of the dark beer in the wooden wine glass. Finally, he made an unladylike belch sound, and he looked decadent and confused.
"Well... I will pay, I just need to wait for a while..."
"No need to pay." This man was really honest. Xiang En's mouth twitched and he said, "I am an auxiliary mage. You can understand it as a mage who cannot attack spells. I need a teammate."
The words stopped here and did not mention "long term". After all, he also needed to be assessed.
If the person in front of him can't meet his minimum requirements, he won't want it.
With such good auxiliary abilities, as long as you take the time, even a pig can slowly grow into a gold-level monster!
If he really can't find a teammate... then he can only find an obedient dog and use magic crystals to feed it to gold level.
"teammate?"
Her eyes flashed with confusion for a moment, and then Andrea suddenly clapped her head, remembering that she had asked the tavern owner with a bad personality to help find her teammates.
Knowing that Xiang En wanted to find his teammates, Andrea sat upright, tried to appear energetic, and introduced herself: "Andrea, graduated from the Warrior Department of De Aier College, the current level Intermediate Bronze, the weapon used is a sword and shield.”
"My level is Bronze Advanced, but I don't have any attack capabilities. I can only assist you."
Xiang En nodded. People in this world cannot judge strength based on physical structure. Magic power is a kind of magical energy. Even a young body can explode with powerful power after being blessed with a large amount of magic power.
The intermediate level of Bronze represents that Andrea's magic power content and physique have reached the stage of qualified cannon fodder, and it is no longer a problem to resist low-level monsters.
Xiang En's own magic power is equivalent to that of a low-level silver professional, but his spiritual power is only equivalent to that of a high-level bronze professional. Mental power is one of the important indicators for judging the level of a spellcaster. Therefore, if the magic power is up to standard but the mental power is not up to standard, it cannot be recognized as a caster. Silver level, this is the standard that has been used in this continent for hundreds of years.
Because he has no attack ability and his skills are too useless, a low-level bronze warrior hits Xiang En as if he were hitting a child. Naturally, he will not dislike Andrea's low level.
Again, if you give him time, even a pig can be promoted to gold level with his help!
Once promoted to the gold level, they are considered to be high-end talents, no matter what profession they are in.
"Play...assistant?"
When Andrea heard a somewhat special combination of words, she showed a puzzled expression and asked the passing waiter for two more glasses of dark beer.
"I have learned a total of five spells now, all of which have no attack power. During the battle, I can only help you increase healing skills and restore a small amount of magic power. After the battle, I can also heal you and do some physical recovery. Bread, that’s it.”
Xiang En rubbed his hands together very carefully, and in the soft white light emitted by his hands, he once again made a square piece of bread and handed it to Andrea.
Taking the bread that was handed to her, Andrea showed an undisguised expression of surprise. She was still in a daze when she sobered up. She thought that Xiang En took the bread out of her backpack or pocket, but she didn't expect that it was actually done by magic. made!
this…
A spell I've never seen before!
She took a bite of the bread. It tasted very good and had the aroma of malt. It had been a while since she had eaten white bread of this quality.
After finishing the free bread, Andrea still felt a little hungry, but she was embarrassed to ask for it again, so she got down to business and said, "Do you want me to hunt to feed you?"
How could you say such nonsense? !
Xiang En was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and looked at Andrea speechlessly, saying: "I also know low-level slowness and wind blessing. Although I can't help you much in battle, with me, you can save a lot of money." If you spend a large sum of money to buy healing potions and scrolls, if you can accept eating bread every day, you can even save money on meals!"
At this time, the waitress placed two glasses of dark beer on the table.
After Andrea pushed a glass of dark beer in front of Xiang En, she thought that what Xiang En said was somewhat reasonable and nodded in agreement. However, she was still a little confused, "You obviously have a very convenient ability, why don't you do it?" Where's the scroll master? Or... selling bread?"
She is now drinking in the tavern every day with nothing to do. The weather has been extremely bad recently. She wants to go hunting, but if she is alone, her daily harvest can barely support her life. It is even harder to improve herself.
If the man in front of you really just wants to find someone to form a team with, and has no other agenda, it doesn't matter if we go together.
I just hope the team can last longer...
Gulu!
Take a swig of dark beer.
"My magic is special and cannot be burned into a scroll. The bread also has a time limit. If you don't eat it within ten minutes, it will disappear. My conditions are very simple. Listen to me on tasks and actions, and the harvest will be divided equally."
Xiang En continued to twitch the corners of his mouth. So far, he was quite satisfied with Andrea, and her speech was much better than those old fritters.
Those stingy people even have to calculate the cost of each meal. Not only do they have to make bread, but the money they get is pitifully small.
Tsk…
It's better to be a rookie who just came out of the novice village. He still has a bit of the innocence of the academy. He is more face-conscious and doesn't care too much about details.
Although it didn't matter, Andrea still thought about the comparison of the contributions and sharing between the two parties. She provided military support and Xiang En provided logistical support.
As for the task, it was obvious that the man opposite me knew much more than a rookie like me, so this was not a bad condition.
On top of that, she was running out of money.
"No problem, but... I hope we can cooperate for a long time."
Before proposing long-term cooperation, Andrea was still very hesitant. After all, Xiang En was already at the bronze level and was only a few steps away from reaching the silver level. Reaching the silver stage is considered the mainstream level for adventurers. Many adventure groups will recruit people at the silver stage to join and achieve better development.
But she didn't want to be abandoned as a burden anymore. If she was still going to be abandoned, then she might as well upgrade to Silver level alone and find an adventure group.
If Xiang En knew what Andrea was thinking, he would definitely laugh, like a thief!
While waiting quite uneasily, Andrea saw the smile on the corner of Xiang En's mouth, and felt inexplicably panicked. She thought he was laughing at her whims, so she picked up the wine glass and took a sip to relieve the panic in her heart.
"Of course, I hope we can understand and cooperate with each other."
Xiang En didn't expect it to go so smoothly, so he said it was exactly what I wanted!
Andrea's eyes widened slightly, then her slightly tense body slowly relaxed, and her nervous mood relaxed a little.
