I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

"Rick..." Cheng Rang called.

He just hummed in a low voice to indicate that he was listening.

"Are you still a virgin?"

Poof!

Cheng Rang seemed to hear the sound of something piercing Rick's chest, and the man in his arms trembled violently.

"I'm still a virgin, so I can't help you. Can't such a fierce black ash stop your mouth? And why did you suddenly jump to this topic?"

"Because it's a bit boring to be on the road, so I have to change the atmosphere."

Cheng Rang would even whisper to himself a few words when he was walking alone. Maybe it was an old habit. He always felt that if the silence continued, there would be problems.

"I have no idea what you're thinking."

"It's not what I said, Rick, it's been five years. As the leader of the settlement, why wouldn't he think about having children? In this case, the only thing humans need to consider besides survival is reproduction, right?"

"You're right, but I don't have the time."

"Ho~ I understand that you are very busy, but for this reason...could it be that you also yearn for a beautiful love? You are really a romantic guy from the bottom of your heart..."

"Anyone who harbors romantic feelings in this situation must be a fool like you."

After Rick answered like this, the people behind him stopped talking.

And he was so happy that his ears were clear, and he continued to concentrate on riding on his way.

It wasn't until a few hours later that the two of them had changed horses once.

"Aren't you hungry?" The guy behind him started asking this boring question again.

"We can't stop until we reach the mountains at least. Do you want to eat these things together?"

What Rick was referring to was the black ash that was still falling around him.

"Then we're not far away. Look, it's right in front." Cheng Rang patted Rick's shoulder and pointed into the distance with his finger.

Following the direction pointed by Cheng Rang, the two of them were almost reaching the mountains without realizing it.

This seems to be shorter than Rick imagined.

But then he figured it out, maybe the guy behind him had been chatting with him with some strange words and dirty jokes, so that he would not be so boring on the lonely road, so the time would go faster.

Eh, weird?

Rick couldn't help but think that if he said this, shouldn't he feel even more miserable?

Rick's whole body suddenly trembled. Could it be that he really felt that the conversation with the guy behind him was very interesting, so he felt that time was going faster!

It is up to Rick to decide whether this idea is due to Cheng Rang being an interesting guy himself or to the 65 points of favorability of the human camp in the system.

"Ah, by the way, Rick, by the way, I'm not a virgin anymore, my wife is super beautiful!"

Rick's mouth twitched sharply.

This boring guy should be destroyed!

——This immediately confirmed the idea.

Chapter 10 Both weapons and girls can be wives. Is this wrong?

Three days had passed since the journey. During this period, even if Rick didn't want to, he finally got used to talking to the guy behind him who kept looking for topics to chat with him.

After all, apart from the topic of still being a virgin, it was quite interesting to chat with him.

"The journey was pretty smooth, and we didn't encounter other races."

In a mountain crevice leeward, Rick and Cheng Rang sat around on the ground, looking at the map in their hands.

"Our final destination is here." Rick pointed to a marked location with his finger, and followed the route back with his fingertips.

Then he clicked twice in one place: "Now we are here."

"There is a mountain to climb next."

"Yes, we need to bypass the sphere of influence of the orcs here."

"learn."

Cheng Rang carefully looked at the map in Rick's hand, which clearly marked all resource points, hiding places for supplies, shortcuts, etc.

There are also the spheres of influence of other races and even the layout of the battlefield.

After a brief inquiry, I learned that it took Rick and the others five years to perfect this map, and many people were sacrificed as a result.

Putting away the map, the two chose to take a break here.

"Go get some sleep, I'll be on guard." Cheng Rang actively asked Rick to do this, because for three consecutive days, his sleep time was less than three hours in total, and his overall state seemed sluggish.

"Well, wake me up in fifteen minutes." Rick grabbed the backpack and put it under his head, turned over and faced the inside of the dim crack.

"It doesn't matter if you don't have to be so harsh on yourself, you guy."

Cheng Rang patted his head hard, and then received a somewhat dissatisfied look from Rick.

Sitting cross-legged next to Rick, Cheng Rang looked at the black ash falling outside the mountain.

The sky was still dark red and there was no sun.

However, Cheng Rang, who has lived in HL for a long time, and the humans here have become accustomed to it.

brush--

A small light flashed in the sky, instantly catching Cheng Rang's attention.

what is that? !

If it were anyone else, they wouldn't be able to spot the fleeting shadow in the distant sky, because the speed is too fast.

But Cheng Rang's vision beyond ordinary people clearly caught the abnormality.

It looks like a guy with wings on his waist.

Flügel?

As far as Cheng Rang knew, the only ones with such racial characteristics should be the Flügel.

Although it is the sixth ranked race among the fifteen races, this ranking is only based on the adaptability of the elves. Although it is also related to combat power, the Flügel is recognized as the race with the strongest combat power.

Why did the Flügel appear here? It would be too far-fetched to say it was a walk...

However, the Flügel probably didn't sense the two of them. After all, as humans, they didn't have any elf reaction. Under the cover of black and gray, as long as they didn't bump into each other's faces, they wouldn't be easily noticed.

In other words, as Flügels, even if they discovered it, they would not

Take care.

It's like a person walking in the jungle and passing by a few ants at his feet. If he crouched down and searched carefully, he might find them and crush them to death, but if he were walking normally, he wouldn't even care about them.

Flying in the sky at such a speed, the distance between them was hundreds of kilometers away in the blink of an eye, and the direction did not change.

Safety....

With a click, Cheng Rang closed the spiritual needle disk in his hand. Because the distance was too far and the speed was too fast, there was no trace of the pointer on it even swinging.

This is a tool used by humans to detect the reaction of elves. An object made by connecting Obsidian with [Pyroxene], which can sense strong elven reactions. It is used to sense and point out the direction of the gods and their relatives. There are a large number of elves living in these bodies, and they are no different from monsters in the eyes of humans. It helps humans avoid danger. It cannot be used when the interference from the spirit corpses is too strong. It is also a prop made by Kelon and Rick.

When he looked away, Rick behind him had fallen into a deep sleep. He was indeed too tired.

The water supply is also limited. Even if they drink very sparingly, the water bottles they brought will soon be empty.

Except for the process, he didn't need to take in extra water, so he would pour a little water from his own water bottle into Rick's water bottle every time he took a break.

This man was the backbone of the two thousand humans in the settlement. If he fell, he would not be able to take care of so many people on his behalf.

What's more, Ke Long will also be worried.

Before leaving, she also promised Ke Long that she would help her take care of her younger brother.

"Rick is a guy who always tries to be strong on his own and quietly takes the pressure on himself..." Such words.

"give it to me."

The slight sound of water hitting the bottom of the bottle woke up the vigilant Rick. Rick narrowed his eyes and quietly turned back to stare at Cheng Rang's movements not far away.

The guy who kept talking along the way must have needed more water than I did. This guy really needed to steal some water from me.

But I don’t have much water here. From the sound, he must have finished the water long ago...

No wonder this guy would hold his water bottle tightly in his arms every time he took a break, for fear that I would find out about this.

Rick, who was thinking this way, had no intention of exposing him, but just watched all of this silently.

But only in the end, what Rick didn't expect was that Cheng Rang finally put the bottle of water next to his luggage.

Two identical kettles were shaken, and the sound coming from the other side was actually from my side.

The smaller one was carefully taken into his arms by Cheng Rang again.

What on earth is this guy thinking?

Rick wouldn't blame humans for trying to survive in dire circumstances, but such situations were rare.

No, in Rick's memory, it basically didn't happen.

Acting?

But this is too much. He obviously has more opportunities to do these things in front of him.

Curious, Rick couldn't help but continue to pay attention.

After putting the kettle away, Cheng Rang continued to sit cross-legged at the entrance of the cave, staring at the sky in a daze. Then he pulled out the long knife he had been carrying around his waist and wiped it back and forth with a cloth.

The cold light shining from the smooth blade surprised Rick.

Weapons of this level of completion can be said to be very precious and rare in this world. No wonder he would cherish them like a treasure.

"Ah...my wife is so beautiful..."

"..."

After hearing such a speech, Rick turned his head silently, recalling what Cheng Rang had said before, and combined with his behavior towards his weapon just now, he sighed softly in his heart.

Now...it seems that his teasing about being a virgin suddenly becomes less uncomfortable.

At least if you are honest with yourself, you will not regard fetishism as the benchmark for getting rid of your virginity. Every family has its own hard-to-recite scriptures...

In this way, Rick, who misunderstood Cheng Rang perfectly, fell asleep with sympathy and deeper trust for him.

Chapter 11 Mecha Girl

Fifteen minutes later, without Cheng Rang calling, Rick woke up accurately.

"It's rest time, let's continue on our way."

Cheng Rang, who wanted to let him sleep a little longer, felt helpless, and at the same time lamented his precise and strict concept of self-restraint like a machine.

But Rick said that this kind of almost forced behavior is necessary. This is the outside world, not as safe as the settlement, and any accident may happen at any time.

If you slack off, you will die. You can only think about how to survive with all your strength.

After packing his luggage, Rick deliberately checked his kettle before leaving.

There are indeed a few more.

"This." Rick shook the kettle in his hand.

"Um?"

Although Cheng Rang pretended to be innocent, Rick took his kettle over without saying a word and poured the excess back in.

"I appreciate your kindness, but in this situation, both of us need to conserve our energy. We haven't finished drinking the water yet, and there will be places to replenish it later."

"Have you discovered..."

Rick didn't answer, he just got on his horse first.

"I will give orders when necessary, whether it is to let you die or to give me all your resources."

Rick knows he can't die, but he won't die either
