Chapter 8: Chapter 8
Money? Ethan doesn't have it. Not only did he have no money, but he also had all his property with him now. Apart from his clothes, he only carried the basic spirit strength cultivation and the island pointer of the State Island. He also brought some dry food and clean water with him.
"Snatching is impossible, I don't have that strength."
After thinking about it, he can only help Rogue camp and sell labor in exchange for what he wants. They're the most secure, and there will be no accidents.
A good rest night, early in the morning on the 2nd day, Ethan ran to Akara, only Akara could have a conversation with him, and he needed Akara to convey his intentions to others. Akara's tent is not difficult to find. As one of the only remaining senior churchmen of the Blind Eye Order, Akara has a very high status in the camp. There is a separate camp in the northeast corner of the camp. The area is for the nuns, and the largest tent belongs to Akara alone.
Of course, Akara herself will also rely on her excellent treatment and potion-making ability to protect the Rogues' battle strength, no matter what, she is one of the most important figures in the entire camp.
When Ethan found her, Akara was standing outside her tent, looking at a few plants in a daze, as if thinking about something. It was not until Ethan walked in front of him to block out the light, and then she turned her head.
"Young apprentice mage, do you need any help when you come to me?"
"Hello, Akara churchman, I do need you for something." Ethan sorted out his words and then continued with spirit strength: "You can see that I am penniless now, and I don't have anything to exchange for travel expenses, so I want to do something within my power. In exchange for some rewards, so that I can buy somebody protection weapons and enough food."
Akara nodded, she understood what Ethan means: "So, you want me to help you convey what you mean?"
Ethan couldn't communicate directly with the people in the camp, so he could only translate through her, which is not surprising. "Let me write a few notes for you, and then teach you some simple vocabulary, it should be enough to solve your troubles."
Akara is an absolute activist. After that, she wrote a few simple notes immediately, such as 'Need help?' 'I can do some work!' 'I need to earn money to go home!' She wrote all the long sentences and then told Ethan to let him write his own words on a few notes to distinguish them.
At the same time, in front of the tent, she taught Ethan simple words such as "hello", and it only took less than three hours to complete all of this. The speed of learning made Ethan a little bit by himself be surprised.
"I didn't learn English so quickly in my previous life."
Not only did he learn quickly, but he also remembered very clearly. After learning more than a dozen vocabulary, Ethan found that he did not have The slightest problem with it.
"It is true that Gu Yi said that with the improvement of spiritual strength, learning language is not a troublesome thing."
Strong spirit strength will directly strengthen people's memory ability. Although it can't make people's IQ very high, it does make it easier for people to remember a lot of information. I never forget that this kind of innate talent that many ordinary persons admire is actually an indispensable skill for high-level wizards.
With the study for a long time, Akara discovered that although Ethan had not yet really started on the path of a mage, the control of spiritual strength and his memory was already at a qualified mage apprentice level, and suddenly remembered what she was doing now, she began to consider whether the youngster in front of her was a suitable choice.
After thinking about it for a moment, she made a decision. It is already the limit for Rogues to guard this camp. Apart from this, they also regularly go out to patrol the camp and clean up more and more dark creatures. Collecting all available resources as much as possible, Rogues really don't have more energy to do other things.
"If you really want to do something, there is one thing that needs your attention at the moment."
When Ethan heard these words, he suddenly remembered when he was playing games. Akara is the character who released the first mission in the first act. At this moment, she suddenly said that she needed his own help. Could it be that mission in the game?
"That's a combat mission that requires a person to kill an unknown number of dark creatures. Can I do it?"
While still entangled in whether or not to tactfully refuse, Akara's next words made him understand that he was thinking too much.
She is thin and has no protective gear or weapons. Although she is a mage, she has not yet started. Akara is not such an unreliable person. What she wants to ask Ethan to do is not to clean up the evil cave. Such a difficult thing. Instead, she hopes Ethan will help himself gather some medicinal herbs near the camp.
"The darkness is getting closer and the pressure on the Rogues is increasing. Now the Rogues are forced to shrink in the camp to defend, and they can't even free manpower to collect supplies. In this way, there are fewer and fewer medicinal herbs that can be used to make potions, so I need to add a lot of medicinal herbs to make potions."
Akara herself can't leave the camp, not only her but even lower The nuns waiting are strictly protected in the camp and cannot go out casually. So these things can only be done by others.
"Collect herbs?"
It doesn't Sound difficult? This task can be accepted.
Akara saw that Ethan was interested in helping, and introduced the shape and characteristics of the medicinal herb she needed in detail, and even took out a few pictures to facilitate Ethan's identification.
"But you have to be careful. According to the reports of the patrolling Rogues, the number of dark creatures near the camp is slowly increasing, and even some local creatures have begun to be attacked by Power of Darkness, so even if only Near the camp, it's no longer absolutely safe."
Ethan nodded, so he didn't plan to leave the camp too far, otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to escape if something went wrong.
"I will write a note, you take it to Kaxia, and she will help you prepare some self-protection weapons."
"Then I will have to trouble you."
Receiving the note, Ethan left Akara's tent and then walked towards the place where Kasha was—the tall and strong woman stood in the very center of the camp, better than anything in the camp. Being conspicuous.
He Went in front of Kasha and passed the note. Kasha casually scanned it and recognized that it was Akara's handwriting: "Are you going to help Akara collect medicinal herb?"
Ethan didn't answer because he didn't understand, but he still took a note from his hand and handed it over. That was one of the few sentences Akara wrote for him before.
Sure enough, Kasha understood the sentence above, "I need to earn the rewards I need to go home."
She didn't say any more about the danger outside. After turning her head and confessing a few words to Side Rogue, she stood there and looked at the youngster in front of her. At this time, Ethan can't understand what the tall woman opposite is muttering, otherwise, he will be very depressed.
"Too thin and weak!"
"It seems that his strength is severely insufficient!"
"Such a physique can cause a burden even with lightweight leather armor. Prepare a light weapon for him, and the protective gear is forgotten."
"I should really train, for such a person I can hit ten with Rogues."
Ethan, who didn't understand at all, felt that Kashas' gaze seemed to harbor malicious intentions, but he still said thank you after receiving a short sword and a small shield.
"I wish you a safe return, youngster!"
Ethan understands this sentence, and Akara specially taught him this sentence before leaving and said it to him personally once.
"Thank you again."
Putting the dagger in the scabbard on the side waist, and carrying the small shield that is not big, Ethan walked out slowly and firmly out the camp.
How can it be possible that he is not afraid?
Although he lived a lifetime again, in his entire life, he did not encounter such a situation where he needed to fight and fight, and he still faced a monster that was eroded by the Power of Darkness mutation.
"I have to face all this sooner or later, I absolutely must not be unprepared!"
Taking a deep breath, Ethan finally walked out of the camp, and then at Rogues "I wish you a safe return!" In the voice, he walked towards the woodland not far away.
Blood Wasteland is the area where Camp Rouge is currently located.
Although the name is a wasteland, there are actually many plants and animals, but the color does not look very normal. Perhaps this is the concrete manifestation of the increasingly serious erosion of this World by the power of darkness.
Ethan doesn't know that even the medicinal herb that Akara needs is being eroded by the Power of Darkness. Every time she makes a potion, she must first use purification magic to remove the dark energy contained in it and then continue making potions. The effect of the medicine made in this way is much worse, which is one of the reasons why the medicine is becoming less and less available.
"As long as you don't go too far, there shouldn't be any monster?"
Rogues should go out to patrol every day and clear the camp to avoid monsters coming to the camp. So as long as you don't go too far, it's normal not to run into a monster. It's a pity that the Goddess does not at all favor Ethan. He just walked to a place where he couldn't see the camp, only to find the first herb he needed, and he also saw two still hanging slightly broken Clothes, and a stiff zombie wandering in front of the herbs.
"Zombie...There are only two, no other monsters."
This is an excellent exercise opportunity. A Zombie moves slowly and sluggishly. Although powerful, it is His flexibility that is easy to hide. Moreover, there are only two zombies. As long as he destroys the first one with a surprise attack, he only needs to destroy the remaining one.
Ethan first carefully made sure that there were no other monsters around, then made up his mind and drew his dagger, and rushed up.
To solve one of the zombies as quickly as possible, Ethan not only mentioned his speed as the fastest, but also jumped up to increase the momentum when he rushed to the zombie, and then smashed the shield fiercely on his left hand upon the zombie's head.
"You have to start zombie!"
A shield smashed the zombie, and Ethan immediately swung the dagger of the right hand and slammed the zombie's head on the ground.
In addition to knowing enough about monsters like a zombie, countless senior experiences have turned over because of carelessness to be alert
.
So, Ethan did not hesitate, and after staring at his hand, he did not look forward and think about it. Fast, ruthless, and accurate! In just an instant, he got the first kill of my life!
