Chapter 444: What do you want?

~8 min read 1,483 words

Luo Lin had never seen Xia Nan before.

Her understanding of this black-haired adventurer in front of her came entirely from the introduction of Haian and the twin warriors.

She knew that the other party was a young professional with quite good strength.

But to be honest, before Xia Nan truly walked into the room, Luo Lin actually didn't pay much attention.

As the captain of the "Oath-Breaking Blade" adventure ship group, she was no longer young, and had been wandering in Shoal Bay for many years, having seen too many figures as dazzling as meteors.

Among them, perhaps a small part could cross the sky, continue to fly to the distance, stand firm in the Southern Islands, and even become a big shot with a famous reputation.

But the vast majority were just a flash in the pan, a few years, or even a few months, and they quickly fell, forgotten in the noise of the tavern.

Therefore, even if she believed in the judgment of her few teammates, for this young adventurer named "Xia Nan" who had outstanding combat performance in their mouths, Luo Lin only left an impression in her heart, without too much deep interest.

Until she saw with her own eyes this young man who was brought into the room by Hela.

A bit unexpected.

Contrary to the high-spiritedness after becoming famous that she imagined, she couldn't see a trace of impetuosity on the black-haired adventurer who carried two swords on his back, and there was no such arrogant feeling common among adventurers who felt they were superior because they mastered power in his behavior.

The temperament was calm and stable, even appearing somewhat cold, just like the windless sea on a cloudy day.

Making Luo Lin couldn't help but look at the other party highly in her heart, subconsciously observing carefully.

And it was precisely because of such careful attention that she captured more details on the other party.

First of all, the first thing that attracted her attention was naturally the equipment on the other party.

Many times, for those adventurers who have no experience in judging people, if they want to judge the specific strength level of a peer, they can often see one or two from the other party's dress and appearance.

The most superficial and simple, but also the most effective.

The number of adventurers holding weapons in both hands in Shoal Bay is not small, but the types of weapons they hold are basically small and medium types like daggers, scimitars, and hand axes.

There are almost no people like Xia Nan who carry two long swords at the same time.

And referring to the combat situation reported by Haian and others, this black-haired adventurer is not a combat style of holding weapons in both hands.

If he still carries two long swords... it is likely that one is commonly used, and the other is for special situations, such as underwater combat, or facing enemies of unconventional types?

The material of the leg guards is special, the overall structure is extremely close-fitting, it should be custom-made by a specialized blacksmith, and the price is not cheap; the dark arm shield looks like it was forged from some unknown monster material, and one can feel its toughness just by looking at its appearance.

Wearing two silver rings on his right hand, the styles have subtle differences, and one can see a necklace falling into the depths of the lining around his neck.

Of course, it is possible that they are all small accessories with decorative functions, but perhaps there are also enchanted ornaments among them.

And compared to the excellence of the equipment on other parts of his body, the most important chest armor on his body is only wearing a studded leather armor common in Shoal Bay blacksmith shops, which appears a bit abrupt.

It should be in the transition stage of armor replacement or repair.

Luo Lin guessed so in her heart.

The above is just her judgment of Xia Nan as a whole from the appearance level.

If you observe carefully from her identity as a senior adventurer.

The condensed aura emitted by the black-haired young man himself, the limbs that have obviously undergone a lot of training and are extremely stable, and even carry a certain rhythm...

All kinds of details reveal that this young adventurer named "Xia Nan" has an image completely different from what she imagined.

And at the same time, the other party's extra attention to her sword on the table after walking into the room made Luo Lin have a few more interests, as if testing, she handed the scimitar to the other party, letting Xia Nan look at it carefully.

The flames that suddenly erupted on the surface of 【Scale-Fire Scimitar】 were within expectation. Most adventurers, because of the inseparable relationship between their work and combat, have accumulated anger deep in their hearts.

If the person holding the knife is a barbarian who specifically uses anger as the source of power, the flames on the scimitar might not necessarily explode directly.

What really made her feel unexpected was the flames that quietly extinguished on the surface of the scimitar after burning violently.

As the owner of 【Scale-Fire Scimitar】, she knew very well what this phenomenon represented.

This means that the black-haired young man sitting on the sofa opposite, just in a few breaths of time, calmed down the emotions stirred by anger in his heart.

This means strong self-control, as well as a tenacious will that exceeds ordinary people.

And to some extent, this is the key to whether an adventurer can go further on this road.

Of course, the rising and extinguishing of flames for only a few seconds cannot judge a person's future prospects.

But... it is enough for Luo Lin to raise Xia Nan's importance level by a few levels in her heart.

"Click."

The heel of the pointed leather boot tapped lightly on the wooden floor, making a crisp sound in the room.

Luo Lin's right hand, which had been resting on her knee since she handed the scimitar to Xia Nan, slid to the outside of her thigh. Her fingertips skillfully probed into the gap between the riding breeches and the leather strap, and her fingers, sticking to the tight and full thigh curve, pulled out a bright silver flat square small box.

Her thumb pressed the buckle, and accompanied by a "click" sound, the silver box lid popped open lightly, revealing the neat white cigarettes arranged inside.

The brown-red crystalline eyes looked at Xia Nan, her palm turned, and she turned the cigarette box outward. Her fiery red long curly hair swayed slightly, and she raised her chin slightly to signal:

"Good stuff from Xia'er Island, want one?"

Seeing this, Xia Nan hadn't reacted yet, but the Druid Haian, who had been quietly watching since entering the room, couldn't help but freeze first.

Having been with her captain for many years, how could she not know what such an action meant.

You know, even for herself, it was only after joining "Oath-Breaking Blade" for more than three months and truly showing her value in the mission that she smoked the first cigarette handed over by Captain Luo Lin.

Of course, a large part of the reason was that she finally became an adult at that time.

But until today, Haian still remembers the stimulating smell that filled her nasal cavity and made her tears come out for the first time.

Clearly it was the first time meeting, why...

The Druid wearing the silver ring snake bracelet felt unbalanced in her heart, but just the next second, when she recalled the phantom black wolf on the sea surface earlier, she felt it was acceptable.

Even started to fantasize about the scene after the other party became her teammate.

Speaking of which, according to her understanding, the other party really didn't have a fixed team.

If Xia Nan could really become her teammate... it seems not bad?

At the same time, Xia Nan sitting on the sofa naturally wouldn't know what the Druid beside him was thinking.

Facing the silver-white cigarette box handed to him on the palm of the other party.

A polite smile appeared on his face, and he declined:

"Thanks, I don't need it."

Although whether it was the previous life or now, his pressure was not small.

But he had never been very interested in things like tobacco, and right now he had no idea of trying.

In contrast, he was even more curious about how such a creation as "cigarettes" could really appear with the technological development level of this world?

Xia Nan didn't know much about cigarettes, but he also knew that for such a thing the length of a finger, the technical content in it was absolutely not low. ===== CHAPTER 445 =====
