Comprehensive manga: Starting from picking up a goddess by mistake on the ground

Chapter 752 Settlement and Croni
It took Micah and his party two days to return to the settlement where Rick and the others were.

During this period, Micah and Athena did not use the ability to accelerate or fly. They followed Rick and the others step by step in the wilderness.

Keep moving forward in the wilderness where black ash falls, and then enter deeper into the forest closed by ice and snow.

In a hidden cave under the sharp protruding rock mountain, this is where Rick's settlement is located.

From the outside, it looks like an ordinary beast's lair.

It is precisely because of this that they can perfectly disappear from the sight of other races and continue to thrive here.

Going forward through the cave, you will see several old oil lamps hanging on a half-decomposed pillar.

Rick took down one of the oil lamps, took out the tinder box from his pocket, and lit the fire.

Relying on the dim orange light, the group moved towards the tunnel dug deep in the cave.

Along this passage, they installed traps to prevent wild beasts.

After going deeper, you can see the outer wall made of many solid logs arranged in rows.

According to Rick, this was a gate built to block wild wolves or bears from straying past the trap.

The only things they can prevent are wild beasts. If they encounter other races, this kind of thing will not have any effect at all.

The feeling that fate is involuntary made Micah frowned.

After approaching the wooden door, Rick stepped forward and knocked hard on the wooden door with a certain rhythm, and then waited quietly.

After waiting for a while, with a rattling sound, the door was slowly opened from the inside, and a boy wearing a fur cloak poked his head out.

"Welcome back, you've worked hard."

Rick and Alei just nodded in response, but Ivan stepped forward and started joking with him.

As Micah and Athena also entered the door, the boy who had never seen them asked curiously.

"Who are these two?"

"They are from other settlements, our distinguished guests."

Yiwang rubbed the boy's head and said seriously.

Micah and Athena are the distinguished guests coming from other settlements.

Although he told the three Ricks his identity, that didn't mean that everyone should know their identities.

In that case the warm reception Micah and Athena would have encountered is entirely conceivable.

After all, their existence is completely a savior who brings hope to the people of this world.

So just in case, Micah and Athena prepared new identities.

When Micah and Athena followed Rick to their settlement, the environment here was completely displayed before their eyes.

"It's pretty good."

Micah praised.

Although he lives in such a desperate environment, Rick still keeps the place in order.

Although they live in a cave, Rick and the others rely on the spring water gushing from the depths of the cave to ensure drinking water.

Livestock were also raised where the sky could be seen.

Through Shen Nian Micah, one can see that among the two entrances and exits here, the other entrance leads to the bay on the coast, where salt and fish can also be obtained.

Being able to do this in such an environment is a great achievement.

As far as Micah knew, even though the orcs above them had a vast living environment, many of their people were still hungry.

Although there are only more than [-] people here.

But being able to ensure food and clothing in such an environment is already rare and valuable.

On the other side, when Rick returned to the settlement, a figure quickly rushed over from a distance.

It was a girl, and she was seen running and shouting: "It's been too long! How much do you want me to worry about my brother?"

"I'm back as soon as possible, sister."

Rick smiled and placed the luggage on the ground.

Compared with his usual cold expression, his attitude today is undoubtedly a huge change.

"Rick actually laughed and called me sister. Did you encounter some important harvest?"

Rick's sister Chloe was very surprised.

So much so that she unconsciously took a few steps back.

She knew her brother's character well, but she was also very aware of the heavy burden in his heart.

She couldn't remember the last time she saw Rick smile.

Chroni's behavior made the corners of Rick's mouth twitch slightly.

Although he knew that he was indeed a little different than usual today, but she wouldn't show it like this, right?
Do you know how much your small step back hurts me?

No, you don't know.

Muttering silently in his mind, Rick decided to ignore his sister's reaction.

"Clonie, did anything happen during my absence?"

"Call me sister, you were still calling me just now! Now that you've called me, just hold on!"

Croni couldn't help but pout, correcting him and nodding vigorously.

"Well, it's okay. At least nothing serious happened that needs to be reported. By the way, take off that dirty cloak and rawhide quickly. I'm going to wash it!"

Cloni patted Rick's dusty head unceremoniously and said to him.

"Yiwang and Yalei too, thank you for your hard work!"

After taking over Rick's cloak and many equipments, Cloni said to Ivan and Ya Lei who were standing behind Rick.

It was only then that she noticed the presence of Micah and Athena.

"Rick, who are these two?"

"These are our distinguished guests. They are important people who can change our current situation. Next, you will entertain them on my behalf."

Hearing Cloni's inquiry, Rick whispered in her ear to make arrangements.

"A big shot who can change our current situation!"

Croni was shocked, and then quickly walked up to Micah and Athena and said respectfully: "You two, please forgive our poor reception."

"It's nothing. It's quite interesting to see you communicate."

Micah said with a smile.

Cloni, after Rick and Hubie ended the war, it was she who led the remaining humans to open up their own territory and create their own country.

In the future, when the brother and sister in the main story come to this world, they will inherit her country.

There is no doubt that she is also a top talent in this world.

"As long as you two don't mind."

Croni couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

She was ready to entertain Micah and Athena according to Rick's order. She looked at Athena's beautiful face and suggested: "The two of them walked through the wilderness with Rick and the others, and they must have suffered a lot. .”

"In that case, why don't you take a bath first?"

Based on Croni's experience, in an environment like the outside world, if you want to move, you must wrap yourself up tightly. After a few days of moving like this, your body will definitely be full of odor.

This situation must be unbearable for the great beauty Athena.

So she made this suggestion.

"Okay, let's go take a shower first!"

Feeling Croni's eyes, Athena responded with a chuckle.
