Dusk Chronicles

Chapter 12

“Very good.” Zaix moved his finger. "Continue."

Melyan felt that the power that prevented him from speaking was gone, she immediately asked.

“Why don't you let the water continue to seep in from that hole and swim upwards when the surrounding water is full? Have you ever heard of a crow drinking water? Like this, there used to be a little crow ..”

Zaix suddenly regretted letting this guy talk, wondering if he should ever have his mouth slammed again.

Seeing that Zaix's expression was a little unnatural, Melyan hurriedly changed his words.

"Ah, I know you are exhausted and have no more energy. Shit, I'm too young and inexperienced."

Zaix looked at him with a gaze; it was fortunate that you knew yourself.

Melyan breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he also had a new understanding towards Zaix.

The tsunami was supposed to sweep Zaix into Urienka Bay, a series of coral reefs 30 miles southeast of Manarola, terrain there complex and many coral reefs. Coral reefs that come out of the surface of the sea look like small hills under the water.

And there is a unique sea creature, a silver-plated whale, famous for the silver ribbons on each side of its massive black body. These grumpy level 40 sea creatures survive by eating fish and shrimp near the reef, often attacking passing boats, but are also often trapped in rock crevices. Zaix must have blocked the vent hole of the silver-plated whale by chance and made it die of suffocation, thus obtaining the golden apple.

After knowing the truth, Melyan was a little desperate, could it be that she was destined to not be able to become a witch?

He looked at Zaix expectantly.

As if teasing him, Zaix deliberately did not speak for a long time.

"A year ago, a level 45 weathered wood demon escaped from the direction of the Ash Valley. I made a mark on his body to see where he was going and what he was going to do. As a result, on a rainy night six months ago, he died in a valley near the town of Beloka. I rushed to check on his body and found that he had died struck by lightning, and there was a torch falling beside him. Not long after, I heard that there appeared a god-blessed person in Beloka. In her twenties, she suddenly awakened her talent as a witch." Zaix smiled, "I just found out how to get a golden apple?"

"The little grasshopper came in here by accident two months ago. I stole his memories and found out that the poor teenager had the same childhood as me. Originally, I planned to let him help me carry out the mission, trying to get a second golden apple to do some research, but now that Goddess Miya sent you here, I was forced to give that mission to you. And you, his granddaughter Reinhardt, I originally planned to let you challenge the White Bone Giant, but since this brat wants to protect you, you can come with him.

"I will send you to Yese City, there is a level 4 Level 40 Hatred Flower. His soul comes from a man named Antoni, the man's wife having an affair with the mayor. After the incident was revealed, they both strangled Antoni to death and his body was buried in a flower field in the suburbs. I happened to pass by there that day, and I felt the hatred there, after which I changed her heart and she became what she is today."

“So what do you mean, let me this weak me challenge him? Then try to see if can get golden apples?” ask Melyan.

“That's what I mean, if it doesn't work out, I can only let this beautiful woman challenge the white bone giant whose strength is comparable to a level five monster.” Zaix was still smiling, but his words made people shudder.

“Do you not know Miss Zulia's grandfather, Mr Reinhardt?”

"Heh, he's just an ugly guy who wants to get Grace, if it wasn't for Grace protecting him, I would've frozen his body into ice cubes."

An unexpected piece of information made Melyan exclaim in his heart, ‘It turns out that you two are competing for Grace, but Mr. Zaix, you are exaggerating your abilities too much. When you married Grace, you were only in your twenties, having only been a witch for less than ten years, no matter how amazing the golden apple was, she said, it was impossible to turn a bottomless child into a purple-robed mage in such a short amount of time, let alone Reinhardt back then had at least reached level 70.

All lies must be heard from the opposite direction. Looks like Grace's true love is Zaix.

Zaix seemed to realize that his words were full of flaws, he waved his hand impatiently.

"All I've explained, you guys pack up and leave, it just so happens that it's still morning out there."

"Good."

Melyan hurriedly bowed, not forgetting to remind the enraged Zulia, she did not believe what Zaix said for slandering her grandfather.

Returning to ground level and breathing fresh air, Melyan was not too excited.

Not another reason, after walking out of the mine, there were many corpses that had lost their souls and had already started to rot. Flies and maggots rolled on it. The sight was so disgusting, people who were used to seeing mosaic sensors would feel very unfamiliar.

Seeing her holding a tree and vomiting, Zulia gave the tissue attentively.

"Thank you."

Melyan's face was slightly pale, and it took a long time to recover.

Due to government policies, the game is filled with mosaic sensors. Such an interesting scene is very little. Moreover, he was a scholar, he did not have much contact with battles and assassinations. Along the way, he could only endure this discomfort.

Considering that this was the first step to becoming a professional fighter, he endured the discomfort and stood up.

"Then let's go."

"Well, then please show me the way."

“Wait, you don't know the way?” Melyan could not help but be stunned.

“Why should I know?” Zulia looked sad.

"Isn't your team arrested by Zaix in Yese City?"

"Yes, we walked along the Qifeng River from the junction of the Misty forest and Hilde Hill to the west, and were captured before reaching the city."

"Then you don't usually see the map?"

"We have professional scouts and thieves on our team."

Melyan covered her forehead helplessly.

Draw a line from west to north after passing through the City of Yese, using this point as an axis. The Kansa region where they are now located was to the west, while the Misty Forest, Hilde Hill, and Qifeng River, and even most of the Wrangler Plain were to the east. All of this really made Zulia difficult.

Fortunately, he still remembered how to return to Yeju City.

"Then, let's go to Yeju City to look for a map. Oh yeah, do you have any money?"

Zulia wisely shook her pants pocket, and through a voice, Melyan judged that her pocket contained many bronze coins.

Good, if Zulia took out a bag of shiny gold coins, it would even make her uneasy.

The two begin their journey home relying on Melyan's memories. There was no danger along the way, but Melyan had the idea of working as a swordsman or archer, so he discussed the possibility with Zulia.

After closely observing Melyan's thin arms and legs, Zulia politely gave a suggestion.

"Each pebble has its own meaning, and I think you are fit to be a scholar."

After receiving advice from Zulia, Melyan recalled that her current attributes did not seem to support any combat profession, so she had to accept this reasonable suggestion.

As night fell, Zulia took out the tent from the dimensional space ring.

It is worth mentioning that Melyan, the legendary scholar, has the world's greatest package bag of rokhan that will only appear 40 years later. But at this time, the bag of the package was empty and as clean as the bag of pants.

The two huddled together in the same tent without shame, as if they were in prison. After all, the greatsword that Zulia had brought was over a meter long, and Melyan guessed that it would take at least 14 points of strength to move it. In the face of such a huge disparity in strength, Zulia who had experience as a mercenary would naturally not have to worry about anything.

Three days later, they arrived at Yeju City.

The grasshopper usually lives a chaotic life, with dull eyes and disheveled hair. Ever since Melyan took over this body, his appearance had completely changed. Random hair tied back, her thin body covered by Zaix's old clothes, she looked radiant, like a weak noble child. So much so that when he and Zulia walked into the restaurant, no one recognized her.

Of course this is also because of Zulia's appearance which is very eye-catching.

Zulia was obviously used to this kind of gaze, she quietly took out a badge and hung it in front of her plump chest.

The black iron sword on top of the blue badge, it was a 3040 division level badge issued by the mercenary association.

In Rokhan's world, if the natives want others to know his abilities, they have two ways, first to become mercenaries, complete missions and then get storm level badges, divisions, gold, and seniors. The second way is to join your own professional association and do a ranking assessment.

Compared to the first way, the second way is tighter and more precise. After all, the first way can be improved through accumulation. For example, even though Melyan could not fight, he had accumulated a lot of points due to his participation in the crusade against the epic heroes. If he went to the mercenary association, he could obtain at least one gold-level badge.

However, since the first way was easier to achieve, most professions would register one mercenary status, thus they could avoid many problems.

For example, Zulia, as soon as she put up a division-level badge, many men who had malicious intentions towards her did not dare to look at her anymore.

That way, Melyan's identity seemed a little embarrassing.

To be honest, the outside appearance of the grasshopper is still good, it's just that he did not like to make up. Moreover, as an old noble in his sixties, Zaix still lived an elegant life. So in Zaix's clothes, Melyan looked like a mistress.

“When I become a witch, mass light magic will blind your eyes,” Melyan thought furiously.
