Chapter 55: descendants of god
Early the next morning, when the genius was bright, Huo Xingchao got up, heated up the cakes left over from yesterday, drank the rice soup, and simply ended his breakfast.
The common people are not particular about it, unless it is a festival, otherwise as long as you have enough to eat, everything will be fine.
Moreover, the two female dependents of their family, only Huo Xingchao, an underage hairy boy, is raising the family outside. Compared with other families, they should be more frugal.
This winter's cotton, Huo's mother is picking up the cheap and defective products left by others to buy, but she is skillful, and it is very good to clean up by herself.
To be honest, Huo Xingchao brought back a lot of amber cores every time he went out of the city. If all of them were exchanged for Tia coins every month, Jinyi would be comparable to two adult men working in a factory.
But the family is still very frugal.
Medicine tonic soup is naturally one aspect, and also, Ermi is four years old this year, and will be the age to go to school in two years. The first year of school starts, and the tuition fee for two years needs to be paid in full, and the family must save it in advance. The money.
Ermi's talent is very good. When she was a little over three years old, she could complete a small whirlwind technique. Huo Xingchao estimated that her mind power might be stronger than her original.
Therefore, Huo Xingchao prepared the tuition fees for the little sister according to the standard amount of the Imperial School.
After saving for two years, as of today, it is still about three-quarters short.
In other words that is:
Huo Xingchao felt that in this state, it was basically impossible to save enough tuition before Ermi went to school.
So he got up early this morning just to get out of the city earlier and go deeper into the misty forest. If you are lucky enough to meet a silver-ranked beast, that amber core is worth tens of thousands of Tia coins.
Ermi's tuition for a few years is enough.
He practiced swords in the yard for a while, and after moving his muscles and bones, he put the storage box on his back and planned to leave.
This storage box is the lowest-level kind, with a large volume and a small virtual space, and it can hold only three times the surface capacity.
But for Huo Xingchao, this three times is almost enough. He doesn't have that many weapons to carry, and he's never been interested in the husks of some creatures in the foggy forest.
There are basically only three things in his storage box: food. Medicines. And amber core.
Of course, he also brought an extra set of clothes today to prevent the accidental beastization and tearing the clothes.
But in any case, his luggage, simple and simple, does not look like a person who wants to enter the depths of the foggy forest.
When Huo Xingchao pushed open the courtyard door, he turned his head sensibly, and found a small figure huddled behind the door of the inner room, staring at him with big eyes without blinking.
He walked over, "Ermi, why did you get up so early today? It's cold outside, hurry in and get some sleep."
"elder brother."
The little girl stretched out her little hand and touched his face, her voice soft and tender, "You have to be careful not to get hurt."
Last night, when she heard movement in the yard, she slipped out of bed quietly, and then saw a blood hole in her brother's chest, which was shocking and frightening.
At that time, Ermi was a little sad.
She felt that her brother was the best brother in the world and the hardest brother in the world.
Brothers from other families don't have to make money like him.
She took a small step forward with her short short legs, and then put the small cleat around her neck in her brother's hand. Serious eyes,
"Brother, you said that this thing can protect me, Ermi can protect herself now, no more, give it to you."
This little lock was given to the little girl by Huo Xingchao on her third birthday.
Inside, a silver-grade amber core, as well as his own animal blood, were refined into a defensive weapon. Amber core is the supplement, and animal blood is the mainstay. As long as the animal blood continues, it can protect her heart and save her life at a critical juncture.
Huo Xingchao rubbed her head and put the cleat back on her neck. His voice was still strong, but compared to when he was facing others, it was already very soft.
"Ermi, my brother has a lot of weapons to protect himself. You can rest assured that my brother will not be hurt again."
"You have to be obedient at home. If your eyes hurt, tell your mother and let her put it on you, you know?"
"...Ermi knows."
"it is good."
The teenager stood up, "The elder brother is gone, you can go back to sleep for a while, and come back in the evening, elder brother will bring you candy to eat."
The little girl had to squat on the ground, raised her head, clenched her little hands tightly, and waved goodbye to him.
......
Huo Xingchao walked to the gate of the city, Chaoyang had already exposed half of his head.
The guards at the city gate all laughed when they saw him, "Boy Huo, why did you leave so early today?"
On this continent, there are a total of seven kingdoms, Tia is located in the southernmost, and it is a country that belongs to the lower middle reaches and is less aggressive.
But these seven countries, no matter how strong or weak, are all located within a city wall.
This huge and seemingly limitless city wall is said to have been built for them by their gods.
Separating the world into two halves, inside the city are humans who are sharpening their knives day and night preparing for revenge to regain their territory, and outside the city are aliens who are eyeing the whole continent.
The city wall was banned, and ordinary creatures could not easily enter and exit. Only those who wore the city pass token could pass through the countless small gates unscathed.
And these tokens are all in the hands of the major Protoss. After paying ten crystal coins, you can get one, and return it to the guard when you come back.
When each token is obtained, it needs to be printed with the mind power of the person who leaves the city. Once the person who leaves the city dies, the token will be destroyed.
For so many years, Huo Xingchao was the strangest person out of the city that the city guards had ever seen at the exit of the third district of the civilian population of Tia.
At a young age, he was probably still in school, but he would go out of town every rest day without a mentor or team, so he was alone.
In the first few months, I always came back with scars, but now, entering and leaving the city gate is like entering and leaving the house, with sophisticated expressions and natural movements, and the time to come back is getting late.
Basically, every city guard who exits the city knows this young and mature civilian in the three districts.
So this time Huo Xingchao left the city gate, the uncle guarding the city directly pulled him, coughed,
"Boy Huo, when you leave the city this time, can you bring me some amber grass? My boy is about to go to school. I want to support him."
Young children are like this, because they are too young to directly absorb the energy in the amber core, so they can only boil it out with the amber herb. Although the energy will be dissipated, it will be more gentle.
Many children of noble families grew up drinking amber energy from a young age.
Huo Xingchao nodded, his tone light, "How much do you want?"
"No need for too much, just three plants."
The uncle Shoucheng smiled, and then gave him the storage bag in his hand, "Here, the amber grass takes up space. This is for your use, and I guarantee that it can hold more things than your storage box."
Huo Xingchao didn't refuse, took the storage bag, nodded at him, and walked towards the foggy forest.
The figure of the promotion gradually disappeared into the thick fog.
"Do you think this kid is an adult this year?"
"No, I'm only sixteen, but my height is so fast that I see the world grow wildly every year."
"Hey, how come the boy of sixteen keeps running out of the city, and the family is not afraid of accidents in such a dangerous place? It's really big-hearted."
"Then what can be done? The poor's children should be in charge of their homes early. In this city, the life of a commoner is worthless."
......
Huo Xingchao didn't know that after he left, several city guards discussed their tragic life for a while. But even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care.
As soon as he walked into the outskirts of the foggy forest, he saw Zhi Ya next to the pile of stones.
There were several people following the girl. There were three boys and two girls, who happened to be three boys and three girls.
There was a boy holding a sword, sitting on a stone with Erlang's legs crossed, his expression a little impatient,
"Zhi Ya, who is the powerful person you're talking about? We've been waiting here for almost half an hour, why hasn't anyone arrived yet?"
"It was supposed to be early for us. Now, at this hour, it's the most suitable time to enter the foggy forest. It's all you. You have to come before it's dawn. Do you know that the foggy forest is the most dangerous at that time?"
The one who spoke was a girl in red with a whip tied around her waist, and rolled her eyes at the boy who had spoken before.
Zhi Ya wanted to say something, but as soon as she looked up, she saw the person walking in front of her, her expression suddenly became excited,
"Senior Huo!"
......
The few people who followed her suddenly raised their heads and followed Zhi Ya's eyes.
It was a young man who looked similar to them. He was dressed in a black suit, with sword eyebrows and star eyes. He was tall and straight, but his expression was too indifferent, and his eyes swept over without any waves.
It makes people cringe a little for no reason.
Huo Xingchao walked straight to Zhi Ya, with a light voice, "Where's the stuff?"
"Oh, here it is."
Zhi Ya hurriedly lowered her head and took out what Huo Xingchao wanted from her storage bag.
Candy, headband, and several books, packed and neatly packed in a bag.
"I picked the headband. I think little girls should like this style. There are also books. I don't know which one you want, so I brought all kinds of books. There are a lot of books. You can talk to me again."
Zhi Ya took out five amber cores and returned them to him.
"This is the leftover amber core, not so much is needed."
The teenager nodded, put away the things, and said nothing more, turned around and was about to leave.
"Hey, wait, Senior Huo..."
The girl bit her lip and summoned her courage, "The foggy forest is very dangerous. It's safer to have one more person. Why don't we go together as a team?"
"Need not."
The young man didn't turn his head, his tone was indifferent, and after a while, the figure disappeared in front of his eyes.
No more traces.
......
"I'll go, what's the matter with this poor boy? We waited for him for so long, and he has this attitude? Also, Zhi Ya, I don't think he even has a medal on his body. Why do you ask him so!"
There is no clear division of strength in this world.
Only the medal on the chest is determined according to the number and level of the aliens you kill. When you first applied for the medal, there was only level zero. As you kill more aliens, the level will be higher, and the level of the medal will continue to increase. .
Zhi Ya and the others are all from the Imperial School, and the worst medal has the third level.
The tallest is a girl with an ice blue dress, a delicate face, and a somewhat frosty temperament. She looked at the back of the boy leaving, and frowned,
"Forget it, leave him alone, we've wasted too much time here, and we won't be able to complete the mentor's mission if we don't leave."
Then he pulled out the scabbard and walked directly into the forest.
"I didn't say that, Isa, your father is the Earl, a silver-grade amber core, what a simple matter, why do you have to fight and kill yourself here, I have seen it, the one given by the teacher The quality is not that good... oops, wait, you wait for me..."
