Quit the team, then picked up a beautiful girl with problems

He shook his head: "If you want to chat with someone, introduce yourself first."

Although Li Ang already knew the girl's name from the panel, it would take her to say it in person for them to truly know each other.

"Ah, I forgot. I'm usually alone, so..."

The girl suddenly understood, as if she had learned something new.

Then, she bit her lip and took a long time to stammer out her words.

"My name is Zoe. I'm 15 years old, 155cm tall, and weigh 42kg. I like eating wild berries and roasting rabbits, but I haven't been able to catch any rabbits lately. My hobbies are, yes, picking up pebbles, reading storybooks, bathing in the mountains, and..."

"You don't have to go into so much detail... The most you can do in your self-introduction is to talk about your ideals."

"Oh, my ideal is to wait for Mom and Dad to come back. This is what they told me. Even though the time has passed, I will still wait obediently."

Is this so...

Li Ang had no idea about the background of that parental couple because it was not written in the game plan, but now that he was in the real world, these two people definitely existed.

According to the girl, her parents were originally planning to come back, but for some unknown reason they did not fulfill their promise.

Li Ang introduced himself: "My name is Li Ang. Li is my surname and Ang is my given name, but we pronounce them together, which is different from the cultural customs in most parts of the world."

The antiquity and diversity of Newbiss meant that Leon didn't even need to change his name to one that could be understood by the other world. There were ethnic groups here that were similar to him in appearance and culture.

"Last name? I don't know..." Zoe blinked.

It seems that she was still very young when her parents left and had no idea about it.

"Then let's not talk about this."

With Zoe around, there's no time to upgrade the Warrior class to level two.

Leon started walking towards the mine he had planned to visit yesterday. Zoe followed him skipping along.

"What about your ideal? You didn't introduce it yet." asked the girl.

"My dream is to establish a powerful Knights of the Sky and reach the pinnacle of adventurers."

"Adventurer, Sky Knight, I know!"

"you know?"

Zoe had no knowledge of many common sense, but she knew this. Leon was a little surprised.

"I have the storybook 'The Adventures of the Sword King' that my mother left behind."

Leon knew about this book because some of his former teammates had families. This book was a classic fairy tale published by the Sky Knight Guild, and they would buy it for their children to read.

Zoe lowered her head slightly, her chestnut hair covering half of her face, and her eyes glanced at Leon from time to time through the gaps in her hair.

She thought for a while and asked, "Are the adventures outside the island really as interesting as in the books?"

Leon roughly recalled the content of the fairy tale "Sword King's Adventure". Since it was adapted from the true story of an ancient adventurer who was one of the founders of the guild, he could remember some of it.

The man with the title of Sword King and his companions defeated the evil dragon entrenched in the kingdom, broke the conspiracy of the remnants of the evil civilization, eliminated the demons coming from the bloody land, and finally brought happiness and joy to the people of the holy city of Vitask.

"Some of them are similar, but you have to be strong to encounter them. But most of the time, they are all kinds of troublesome trivial matters."

The story is certainly refined.

"Leon, you want to form a powerful air cavalry regiment. Does that mean you've experienced such adventures?"

"Yes."

Leon recalled the battle against the King of the Dark Night Ancient City not long ago.

It was precisely because of its appearance that the Moonlight Island where the Dark Night Ancient City was located continued to generate undead creatures. The miasma they emitted polluted the nearby airspace, causing production losses on many islands and triggering monster riots. Therefore, the guild issued an SSS-level expedition commission.

The King of the Ancient City lurks like a worm among the mold-covered brick and stone walls. It is a super monster formed from the decaying corpses and wailing resentful spirits that have condensed over the ages.

Its breath is a deadly poison that corrupts everything. When its body crawls, filthy blood flows freely, blooming into gorgeous but deadly black blood flowers.

When the team was at a loss, Li Ang racked his brains to formulate a strategy. Finally, he discovered that although the rune device in the ancient city had long been out of order, it could still be used by activating the internal spirituality. Finally, he found a chance to win.

Zoe listened attentively as he talked about the battle in the Dark Night Ancient City.

After I finished explaining how I won, she immediately asked, "Then you must have good partners. The book says that partners are the key to successful adventures."

"The better ones retired, and then I was kicked out by the worse ones."

Before Ramsay took control of everything, it was the tacit cooperation with his old teammates in battle and the jokes and banter during adventures that made Leon more motivated to face all challenges. That was completely different from the final abandonment at the pinnacle of Soul.

The Dark Night Ancient City is likely to be a game copy, and perhaps the sorcerer is the must-have profession for this copy. Without him, let alone whether it can be conquered, many people may even lose their lives.

Leon's words made Zoe fall silent for a moment. As they walked forward, the only sound was the rustling of the grass under their feet.

"No, it's okay..."

Zoe was the first to speak.

"The people in the village don't like me either. I'm small and not as strong as them. They think it's not good for me to run around. My parents didn't want me, so they left me here. But I always tell myself to be obedient and practice sword skills well so that they won't be disappointed when they come back.

"If you treat them well and they don't treat you well, then they are bad and you should ignore them."

Leon touched his face. Zoe's clumsy comfort made him unconsciously reveal the first sincere smile in these days.

He pulled the corners of his mouth back to their original position and asked:

"Why do you come to see me every day?"

"There are no outsiders on the island, and I don't like playing with the villagers. I want to see what people outside are like."

"But you said it was for the house."

"!"

Red clouds climbed up Zoe's little face, and she quickly waved her hands.

"No, no, no, no, of course it's because of that, but I... ah, right, today I wanted to come..."

The girl stomped her small leather boots on the ground.

"Yesterday's duel was unfair."

It turns out that I didn’t take yesterday seriously, I just forgot.

"What's unfair about that?"

"I use swords, and you use magic. I have no idea how to fight you. You should also use swords, and then we can compete again."

"According to your logic, I can also say that I use magic. Why do you use a sword? You use magic to compete with me."

As soon as Leon finished speaking, Zoe became paralyzed.

The look on her face said, "I've never considered this question."

This guy is really an idiot.

But he's a cute and kind-hearted fool.

Leon kept walking, and after climbing over a few small rolling hills, he could see the edge of the island. There, the long meadow degenerated into a sandy land with sparse weeds, and finally turned into a mountain covered with rocks.

Among the rocks, some shadows were crawling.

It's a monster.

8. Monsters Gather

The islands above the clouds are full of monsters. According to scholars from the magical capital of Thousand Towers, this world is filled with magic, giving rise to countless monsters.

There shouldn't be any very strong monsters on Satus Island. Based on Leon's experience, the estimated total combat power should not exceed 5.

The two continued to approach the rocky area at the edge of the island. The gathered rocks piled up into a small hill about four or five meters high. At the foot of the hill, large rocks were scattered.

The one entrenched here reveals his true appearance.

Many hyena-like beasts were crawling on the sand between the scattered rocks. It was almost noon and they were sleeping lazily in the warm sun.

【Wasteland Beast】

[A magical beast with a faint connection to the earth]

[Species: Wolf-type species]

【Battle Wisdom: Level 1】

Servant: None

Energy Source: None

[Body Strength: Stone Claws, Level 1. Wild Leather, Level 1.]

Special Attack: None

[Skill: Sand Adaptation]

[Combat Power Increase: 0]

The wasteland beast is one of the most common monsters, with earth attributes and a certain degree of adaptive sociality - when there are no enemies, it gathers in groups of its own kind and chooses a leader. When there are powerful monsters, it follows the powerful monsters to survive.

They will devour ores, absorbing the substances and earth elements inside to grow. Leon has seen wasteland beasts whose physical strength can grow to level 5, but their intelligence hardly grows, so they are also favorite hunting targets for adventurers.

Their skin and claws are common materials, especially the skin, which can be made into various leather armors that are strong and durable. However, the wasteland beasts have barbaric habits, low intelligence, and are often injured, so the probability of getting a good skin is very low.

This was the first time Leon saw the monster panel unfolded by the system. He read through the various items on it. The panel clearly stated and marked the various abilities of the monsters, which corresponded to various human strengths.

Combat intelligence is similar to professional skills, involving whether they can use magic power combined with their own qualities to fight, and whether they know how to launch special attacks. These special attacks can be regarded as the secrets of magic.

Humans have the ability to contract and summon beasts, while monsters can enslave servants.

The physical strength is roughly equivalent to human equipment, and as for the energy source, the principle is the same across the entire airspace.

There were about six or seven desolate beasts before him, their combat power mediocre, consistent with the lack of precious minerals on Satus Island. Their fur and claws were noticeably worn, evidently from their habit of playing in the sand and gravel, making them of little value.

The wasteland beasts are easy to deal with, but there are more than just wasteland beasts here.

Leon raised his gaze and focused on the top of the rocky hill. The existence there was the master of this rocky land.

【Wyvern】

[The most primitive form of a dragon monster that steps into the sky, using its flying ability to migrate between sky islands and hunting with the advantage of the sky]

[Species: Dragon]

【Battle Wisdom: Level 2】

[Servant: Wasteland Beast Herd, Level 1]

Energy Source: None

[Body Strength: Low-level Dragon Claw, Level 2. Low-level Dragon Scale, Level 1. Low-level Dragon Fang, Level 1.]

[Special Attack: Wind Bullet]

[Skill: Dragon Bloodline]

[Combat Power Increase: 5%]

The two-legged wind dragon grasped the rock and stood on the top of the mountain like a big bird. Only its wings and head were covered with dark green dragon scales, and the rest of its body was gray-brown feathers. It did not look good overall, like a mixed-feather chicken.

Wyverns are supposed to live in groups, but perhaps because resources are scarce on Satus Island, there is only enough space for this one dragon to live, so it stayed and became the regional boss.

As the lowest-level dragon monster, it has already entered the threshold of many people's summoned beast selection.

After the Wyvern is tamed, it is generally regarded as a Tier 2 summoned beast.

The beast in front of him, which controls the wasteland beasts, even has a 5% increase in combat power. Leon believes that this is a bonus given by the large number of wasteland beasts.

Dealing with a group of monsters is sometimes more dangerous than dealing with a single higher-level monster, because their cooperation with each other may trigger unexpected chain reactions.

According to experience, one of the parties needs to be defeated at high speed.

Although Li Ang came here to mine, this place is not a rich mining area, so he still has to fight.

The so-called rich ore is the level at which high-purity ore can be directly moved from the ground.

The world of Newbis is very different from the Earth. Because the interior of the island is rich in minerals, they are often exposed directly on the ground in high purity.

But here, all you see is the ore and rock and soil integrated into one, and it still takes a lot of effort to mine.

Therefore, he couldn't just pick up the ore and run away, he had to drive the monster away.

Leon closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and slowly let the magic power seep into the ground.

He is using his spiritual affinity to try to communicate with the spirits of the earth here.

In places where the spirit is particularly strong, he can directly compose spells without the help of earth-attribute spellcasting materials, and drive the spirit of the earth to create earth golems.
