Frilian: The Adventure of the Hero

The situation doesn't seem as bad as I thought.

During their patrol, Shane and his group only found a few more [Demonized Rabbits] in a few forests near Kreel Village, and did not find them in other areas.

After the three people relayed the message to [Holy City Shutral], the subsequent tracking and investigation were officially handed over to the monks.

Finally, they left the mountains and forests where they had stayed for so long and arrived at Valm, the largest trading city in the Tark region.

beep--

Shaun awoke to the sound of a long horn.

He stretched lazily, did several audible gas cycles, then jumped out of bed and went to the window.

The hotel is located near the port.

Looking out of his window, he could see rows of sailboats on the dock, ready to set sail. The workers were busy and orderly removing the decking, lowering the mooring lines, and blowing the horns to signal the start of the voyage.

Near the dock, there is a bustling market street with shops of all sizes lined up one after another, offering a dazzling array of food and exquisite imported goods.

Xia En took a deep breath of the fresh air outside the window.

Then, he turned around and went back to the center of the room, sat cross-legged on the floor, took out a bag of beans, and began his work for the day.

There were nearly 400 gray-area keywords harvested previously.

Based on the calculation that every 3 affixes can be reforged into 1 high-level affix, it is conservatively estimated that at least one purple affix can be stacked. If the [Strong Luck] is strong enough, it is not impossible to get a gold affix.

"Now, let's go all in!"

As he spoke, Shane laid out nine soybeans.

The constantly pulsating gray light turned white before his eyes, then green... Xia En's mental energy was also rapidly depleting...

In the next room.

Philon woke up because he needed to pee.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a hand covering my mouth and nose.

Following the hand, she saw the "murderer's" messy white head. At that moment, Frillie was sprawled on top of her, drool dripping onto half of her blanket.

Philon calmly brushed the hand away and sat up.

The sun shines brightly outside the window, and seagulls cry incessantly.

She was in a good mood.

"Ms. Frillian, it's time to get up."

Frillie rolled over, wrapped herself in Philon's blanket, tucked her neck in, and continued to sleep.

"Ms. Frillian..."

Philon tried again.

Frillie frowned and continued to resist.

Philon sighed and gave up on the wake-up service.

After getting dressed and quickly washing up, she arrived at Xia En's door.

dong dong dong.

"Mr. Shane, are you awake?"

There was no response from inside. Philon sighed, thinking they were probably still in bed. Just as she was about to turn and leave, a strange sound came from inside the closed door.

"Hahaha—this is so much fun—"

"?"

Philon returned and knocked on the door.

This time, the sounds from inside the house were even stranger: "Hahaha—Help! I'm dying! Hahaha—"

Help?

Having caught the key words, Philon abandoned all manners and pushed open Shane's door.

! !

Then I was blinded by the light.

In the center of the room, a huge human-shaped light source appeared, emitting a strong light that constantly changed colors: red, orange, yellow, green, and cyan.

Under the light, the whole room became eerie.

Philon stood at the door, frowning, and silently closed the door.

She must have opened the door wrong...

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Inside the room, Xia En, wrapped in an outer robe, was jumping around like a monkey, having a great time.

The effect of this [Entry Reforging] was pretty good; he got one purple and two blue entries.

He's playing with the purple-colored "Chroma" perk right now.

【Radiant Colors (Purple Epic)】: Makes the target emit dynamic, vibrant colors, greatly increasing their charm value.

When this entry first appeared, Shane was stunned. The image of a disco ball in a nightclub immediately flashed into his mind, almost making him laugh himself to death.

This kind of attribute is definitely not suitable for him; he has far more charm points than he needs.

Glowing light... never mind.

He was having a great time when he saw Philon coming to find him.

The little girl was completely terrified.

Xia En quickly stopped, opened the door, and saw Philon still standing there in the doorway.

Good morning, Philon.

Upon hearing his voice, Philon snapped out of his daze and looked Xia En up and down, wondering if he had really seen wrong.

I'm having doubts about myself right now.

Before him, Xia En smiled slyly and activated the [Dazzling Colors] on his outer robe once more.

One on, one off.

One on, one off.

"How is it? The magical tool I just crafted can glow! Do you like it?"

Philon: "..."

(⩌-⩌)

"I specifically chose a size of robe that you can wear. Here, try it on."

Before Shane could finish speaking, Philon turned and left.

Who would want to try something this ugly?

"Hmm? You don't like it? How about I make you a matching skirt!"

Shane's voice came from behind, and Philon walked even faster.

The young girl doesn't know its value.

Xia En smiled and shook his head.

He estimated that Frillie was probably still asleep at this time, so he quickly tidied himself up, went out, and headed straight for the Adventurers' Guild in the city.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The Adventurers' Guild in Valm has a large number of members.

Perhaps because it is located in a trading city and a port, there are a lot of adventurers coming and going.

"Handsome sir, how can I help you?"

Xia En took out a linen shirt from his backpack and placed it on the counter.

He received two blue attributes today, one of which has already been enchanted onto this piece of clothing.

【Immovable as a Mountain (Blue Excellent)】: When stationary, gain invincibility resistance and ignore all magic damage. When not stationary, resistance becomes zero.

"I want to sell equipment."

"Excuse me, sir, we don't accept clothing here. If you wish to sell ordinary clothes, you can go to a tailor shop. Would you like me to show you the way?"

"These aren't ordinary clothes; they're equipment."

"??"

The receptionist was quite surprised, thinking she had misheard.

Meanwhile, the other adventurers gathered around the counter also heard Shane's words, and they all cast puzzled glances at him.

One of the kind-hearted uncles patted Xia En on the shoulder and said, "Young man, are you a newbie? If you urgently need money, you can join our team and do the [Maze Patrol Mission] together. Each person can get 20 copper coins."

"Thank you, but no need," Xia En said with a smile, politely declining the offer.

Seeing the receptionist hesitate and unsure what to do, he didn't waste any words and simply pushed the linen shirt over, saying, "This equipment of mine can resist all magical attacks. If you don't believe me, you can try it here."

Resist all magical attacks.

Upon hearing this, the entire Adventurers' Guild fell silent.

Especially the kind uncle from earlier, his gaze towards Xia En was complex, tinged with a hint of pity…
