Chapter 497 Adventure and Tutorial
Chapter 497 Adventure and Tutorial
Broly and Loki meet seemingly by accident at Sharia's Adventurers' Guild.
"I'm here to earn money as a part-time adventurer."
Broly replied.
"Hey, you're not a special admission student, so are you eligible for a tuition waiver?"
Luo Qixi asked, somewhat surprised.
"Although the tuition fee was waived, I still have to bear the daily expenses myself, such as the magic ink for practicing drawing magic circles."
Broly looked troubled.
"Have you found a team yet?"
"No, they all thought I was too young."
Looking at the boy sighing and complaining, Luo Qixi felt his pain deeply.
Because she is also burdened by her young appearance.
"By the way, Broly, what's your adventurer rank again?"
Luo Qixi's heart stirred, and she asked.
"I'm a B-rank adventurer, so what?"
Broly took out the adventurer card he had prepared before enrolling and asked deliberately.
"Rank B..."
Luo Qixi muttered to herself, and then she made up her mind.
"How about you team up with me? I haven't found any teammates yet."
"Oh, really? That's great!"
Broly readily accepted the demon girl's invitation, which was already part of his strategy.
"Gentlemen, your adventurer levels are fine. What name would you like to give your party?"
After checking that the two adventurers' nameplates were in order, the receptionist at the Adventurers' Guild asked Loki about the name of their adventurer team.
"Broly, what's your suggestion?"
Luo Qixi came over to ask.
"How about we take one character from each of our names to form a team name?"
Broly didn't have any good ideas, but he did have a clumsy solution.
"Bro Squad, right? Then I'll register you two like this."
After collecting the processing fee and recording the team information on parchment, Broly and Loki's adventurer team was successfully formed.
"In the future, it will probably become the Broeshi Squad."
Broly muttered something.
Luo Qixi then started selecting commissions in the commission section.
Although the team is newly formed, Broly and Loki both have high adventurer levels, so they are able to directly accept commissions of B rank or higher.
"It's difficult to explore the maze alone, but it's not a problem for two people. However, we've only just formed a team, and our teamwork might not be good enough yet, so we won't take on any maze missions that are too difficult. This mission to collect Gnatifid teeth materials is just right."
Although Loki's life in this loop was affected by Orstide, apart from the one in 395 that had a relatively large impact, the rest of her life was progressing along a fairly similar trajectory. Therefore, the girl showed a rather mature and steady side when it came to forming an adventurer party to explore the dungeon.
Broly naturally had no objection to this. He did whatever Loki said. Even before entering the dungeon, when Loki told him not to use fire magic if possible, treating him like a dungeon novice, Broly listened and agreed.
"Frozen Domain~"
"Water cannon".
Once again attacked by a group of gregarious labyrinth monsters, Loki cast a freezing field, and Broly's summoned water elementals condensed into water cannons, blasting the frozen monster bodies to pieces.
"Phew~"
After collecting the magic crystals from the frozen monster corpses, Luo Qixi wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at the boy next to her who had also collected the other side of magic crystal materials, and couldn't help but sigh.
At first, I wanted to direct Broly, but every time I gave the order, the boy would do exactly what I wanted him to do, and even better than I expected.
Contrary to my expectations that a newly formed adventurer team might need a period of adjustment, my teaming up with Broly felt like we skipped the adjustment period and went straight into a period of perfect harmony, working together like long-time partners who had been teaming up for years...
"Luo Qixi, how much lamp oil is left?"
"There's only half a day's worth left."
"It's time to go back."
"That's what I think too."
The boy's words were so agreeable, and the steps and rhythm of his actions seemed to resonate with my heart.
There's absolutely no need to say anything; you just know what the right thing to do is to follow up with the next step.
Teaming up with someone like that to explore the maze gives me a sense of comfort.
"Next time you need to make money, invite me to explore the maze together again."
After completing the commission, settling the accounts, and distributing the rewards, we returned to the Magic University together. At the crossroads between the male and female dormitories, Luo Qixi suddenly said this.
"Okay, but Luo Qixi, you can do the same. If you need to make money, you can also ask me to go on an adventure in the dungeon together."
Hearing this, Luo Qixi's face lit up with joy. She nodded and said, "See you tomorrow," before skipping away like a little rabbit towards the girls' dormitory.
Afterwards, Broly stood still, took out his notebook from the Crystal Palace, opened it, checked the box next to "Become an adventurer in the dungeon together", and then went back.
After returning to his single room, Broly locked the door.
They left through the window and flew towards the territory of Fituia.
. . . .
"Why haven't you come these past few days?!"
The two-year-old red lion of the Boreas family was a little angry about the boy's return. The reason was that this guy who suddenly jumped down from the tree had promised to teach her the skill of waving a branch, but had stood her up for three days.
Don't say that children are ignorant or don't hold grudges. Little Alice holds grudges very well. After her expectations were disappointed many times, her puffed-up cheeks now prove that she is unhappy.
"Sorry, I've been busy lately."
"If you have something to do, you might as well not come."
Two-year-old Alice has already been spoiled by her grandfather, Salos, and has developed some arrogance and willfulness.
However, Broly has a way to solve this problem.
He picked up a small twig from the ground and started waving it at the tree trunk next to him.
The tapping sound caught little Alice's attention, and the little girl's eyes began to light up.
As the branch swung, the bark on the tree trunk was precisely scraped away, revealing a cute, angry image of Little Alice turning her face to the side, puffing out her cheeks, and stomping her feet.
"Would you like to learn?"
After completing the on-site painting, Broly asked...
"Um."
Little Alice nodded subconsciously.
Are you still angry?
Her cheeks, which had already flattened out, quickly puffed up again after that question.
"angry!"
Little Alice said angrily.
Broly: "..."
This little guy is just like a harpy cat, breathing out air and meowing at the same time.
"I only teach the skill of wielding a branch to children who don't get angry."
"I'm not a child."
This time around, Alice, who is only two years old, is absolutely certain of this.
"But you're angry."
"Oh, okay, I'm not angry anymore. Please teach me quickly."
Little Alice also wanted to be able to create beautiful patterns just by waving a small twig around.
Is this the posture of a person making a request?
Broly asked.
"Waaah, Broly, please, meow~"
Broly reached out and patted the head of the adorable little Alice, but the little one quickly dodged his hand.
"Come here, I'll teach you how to practice."
Broly didn't pay any attention to this, and simply squatted down to let little Alice come over to him.
Although Alice refused Broly's head pats, she did not refuse his hands-on teaching.
She darted over and snuggled into the boy's arms, begging him to quickly teach her the technique of wielding the branch.
"To carve patterns on a tough tree trunk with a flexible branch, both strength and skill are indispensable."
Broly grabbed little Alice's hand, and his energy flowed into the girl's body, which then propelled her to exert force.
Tap tap tap, the sound of the hammering creates butterfly patterns on the tree trunk.
"I don't want butterflies, I want a big kitten! Hurry, hurry!"
Of course, at this age, little Alice was simply enjoying the feeling of having her body controlled and using twigs to create patterns on tree trunks.
"If you want to summon the big cat, you'll have to do it yourself."
"I won't."
"So you have to learn, remember the feeling of the force I use when I swing the branch with you, this is horizontal, this is left-falling stroke, this is vertical, this is turning, this is hook..."
"This is so troublesome!"
"No way..."
Broly released his grip, and with a loud crack, Heng was sent flying.
"See, you've created a horizontal line, haven't you?"
Broly pointed to a slightly slanted, broken line on the tree trunk and said.
"Huh?!"
Little Alice's eyes widened, and she became somewhat excited.
"I'll do it myself."
Just as Broly tried to grab her hand again, the little guy dodged it.
Unsurprisingly, with a snap, the small twig in her hand broke.
"Ah, why isn't it working again?"
Little Alice frowned, completely baffled.
"That's because you haven't mastered the technique of waving the twig yet. You need to remember how I showed you how to wave the twig."
Broly appears to be teaching Alice, who is in this loop, how to swing a branch, but in fact he is teaching her the Three Gods Style swordsmanship he has mastered, or simply Third-Rate Swordsmanship.
Last time, Broly tried to teach Alice his mediocre swordsmanship, but he failed.
After talking with Gilead, Broly realized that his third-rate swordsmanship was not something anyone could learn.
Third-rate swordsmanship is derived from the three major swordsmanship schools. It is Broly's unique swordsmanship, which combines the essence of the three schools. It is somewhat like the general outline of the three schools, so it is very difficult to learn.
"Those who want to learn either have a high level of expertise in all three sword styles, or they are newcomers who have never practiced any sword style but have a high talent for swordsmanship and have been practicing your third-rate swordsmanship by relying on physical intuition since childhood."
As for the others, if they don't have a deep understanding of all three sword styles, practicing your third-rate swordsmanship will only turn them into truly third-rate swordsmen.
"Gilead, are you the same?"
"Yeah, me too. I'm only good at the Sword God Style. I'm not so good at the Water God Style, let alone the Northern God Style. After practicing your third-rate swordsmanship, I've become a bit of a hybrid, which has even affected my original Sword God Style, making my sword slower."
This was Gilead's answer from the previous playthrough, while Alice requested that Broly teach her third-rate swordsmanship before she regained her memories in the new playthrough.
Of course, since Alice is naturally active, Broly can also win her over while teaching her mediocre swordsmanship.
"Divine power is like sweet sustenance, granting those who have lost their strength the ability to rise again, healing..."
Broly used a basic healing spell on the battered tree trunk, and the trunk, whose bark had been broken, quickly recovered.
"Well then, that concludes our practice of waving the twig for today."
He said to little Alice.
"So fast?"
Little Alice was still a little unsatisfied, even though her forehead was covered in sweat.
"There's no other way, the sun is about to set, I have to go home."
It was dusk, and the sun was hanging in the western sky, sinking lower and lower.
"When will you come over again?"
"who I am?"
"Woo~"
Little Alice pursed her lips, but still answered, "Brother Broly."
"Do you really want me to come see you again?"
"Um."
This time, the little guy didn't hesitate and quickly nodded his head.
"Then tomorrow will do. I'll come see you again tomorrow."
"You promised you'd come tomorrow. If you don't, you're a little dog."
"Yeah, if I don't come, I'll be a puppy."
Broly glanced at the tree not far away and nodded to little Alice.
He quickly jumped over the backyard wall of the Boreas family's house.
Have we been discovered?
As Gilead thought about it, he jumped down from the tree.
"Miss Alice, Master Salos sent me to call you. It's time to go back for dinner."
She came over and said that.
"Understood, Gilead."
Little Alice, still holding the branch in her hand, skipped and hopped toward the house.
Gilead, lagging behind, looked at the tree trunk that had been restored to its original state and picked up a branch from the ground.
With a snap, she swung the branch, and it broke off, but left a deep mark on the trunk.
"It really didn't work. Who is that guy anyway, and why did he teach Miss Alice that strange swordsmanship?"
Big Dog Girl thought about it for a while, then realized she wasn't good at using her brain, so she gave up.
"Never mind, as long as there's no malice, it's fine."
She is still very perceptive about how she treats strangers.
Throughout the entire ordeal, Gilead didn't sense any malice from Broly towards Alice.
. . . .
They arrived at the village of Buena before sunset, and Broly found himself with two fish in his hands.
He caught it in the river he was passing by, but it led him to knock on the door of the house in front of him.
"Squeak~"
The door opened, and it was opened by a blond, long-eared man.
"Hello, Uncle Roltz."
Broly greeted him.
"Oh, it's Broly. What's this?"
Roltz looked at the boy at the door and asked.
"My brother caught some fish and asked me to bring some to your house."
"I can't accept this, your family can eat it themselves."
"There are still plenty of fish at home, so it's okay. Besides, you saved me in the forest before."
Broly was very enthusiastic, and Roltz could only accept the two large fish from the boy's hands.
"Where is Silphie?"
"In the room."
"I'm going to go play with her."
Broly said he was going to play with Silphie, but in the year 407 of the Ankylion calendar, the girl was still just an infant in swaddling clothes.
Lying in the cradle, its little mouth was open and it didn't have a single tooth.
However, upon seeing Broly, or rather his fluffy tail, the little guy started babbling happily.
