Chapter 59: 58. Adventure Experience

58. Adventure Experience

Li Ang didn't respond, and Dorothy brought her joined hands forward again.

"What I'm thinking about now is whether to knock you out and make you mistake seeing me for a dream."

Doing this was of course unreliable, and he didn't really intend to do that. He just couldn't figure out the mind of this lady in front of him.

"Oh," Dorothy hummed lightly: "Are you going to abandon me again?"

"Again? Why is it again?"

"Anyway, take me in to look around."

Swaying her waist to the edge of the wardrobe, Dorothy insisted on this.

At this time, the sound of footsteps stepping on the floor came from outside her room. The person was very active, approaching at high speed with half-jumps, and then knocked on the door.

"Senior Sister, are you there? It's Leona!"

It was the half-dragon girl he had seen before.

Dorothy didn't have the joy of seeing a friend. She sighed slightly, didn't open the door, but gently pushed the porcelain basin containing the fresh blood she had cut from her wrist under the bed.

Leona continued to knock on the door: "Senior Sister, we haven't chatted before going to bed for a long time. I brought bedding from next door."

Dorothy's expression was indifferent, and happiness seemed to leave her immediately.

She said indifferently to Li Ang: "Let's go, don't let anyone see us. Just leave me here to rot."

"..."

Outside the door, Leona knocked louder and louder. She really wanted to come in and have a bedtime story session with her senior sister, almost like slamming the door.

Li Ang scratched his hair and beckoned: "Go, go, go."

He stepped into the wardrobe secret passage, and the lady's cold expression melted instantly, following with interest.

Closing the wardrobe, darkness shrouded, isolating the knocking sound, like coming to a new world.

Dorothy walked down the stone steps, sighing: "So dark."

Li Ang lit the adventure lantern and took the magic lamp from the side of the door and handed it to her: "This was prepared by the previous owner of this room."

Taking the magic lamp, Dorothy stared at it in a daze.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know how to use it."

"This one is a bit old-fashioned. You unscrew the top cover, take out the wick inside, inject magic, and put it back."

She first carefully wiped a little dust on it with her index finger, looked at her fingertip with disgust, and then took out a handkerchief from her pocket with the difficulty of making a major life decision, and wiped the dust off.

Throwing the handkerchief on the ground, she fiddled with the magic lamp for a while and looked up at Li Ang.

"Can't open it?"

Dorothy nodded up and down.

Trying his best not to sigh, Li Ang took the magic lamp, opened the shell, injected magic, and handed it back to her.

The warm yellow light shone on the lady's expressionless face.

She didn't speak, Li Ang stepped forward, and she followed.

The secret passage was narrow and tortuous. They couldn't walk side by side, and Li Ang couldn't see her state all the time, just confirming that she was following.

After walking for a while, Li Ang asked the doubt in his heart: "Did I abandon you before?"

Bringing her in was partly because he wanted to figure out whether he had done anything before.

He noticed that the lady's breath behind him had changed. She answered after a while: "That's why I'm here doing boring official business day after day."

If she yearned for freedom, then repeating the same life was indeed torture.

"How did I abandon you?"

Dorothy took a breath and said: "You said, group up, adventure together, and so on. I... you didn't take me in the end, you know it yourself."

"That's what you asked before, do I keep my word?"

"Right."

Li Ang always felt something was wrong.

"I remember you, but I don't remember having such a thing. I might have said such words, but..."

Eight years ago, Li Ang started thinking about finding reliable fixed partners. Before meeting the old regiment leader, he did invite many Sky Knights he met during adventures to group up, but because of the spellcaster profession problem, none succeeded.

Since he remembered Dorothy's healing spells were surprisingly good, it was highly likely that he had invited her to group up.

"But if you agreed, I have no reason not to take you."

Dorothy didn't speak.

Li Ang pointed to a new secret door he reached: "Now we are adventuring. No matter if I did it or not, just treat it as making up for your experience."

He found the mechanism and pushed the door slowly. Dorothy poked her head in, only providing a sense of participation.

The stone door opened, Dorothy poked her head in, and the scene behind the door made her scream.

Several skeletons were stacked together. The dry basement didn't let them all turn into white bones, and they were still covered with shriveled fascia.

Li Ang didn't approach to touch them, but used the Dragon Tooth Sword to pry them apart.

There were six skeletons in total. According to the clothing and the environment of the basement, a battle occurred here where five soldiers besieged a spellcaster. In the end, the spellcaster was pierced by weapons, but also released flames that burned the entire basement to perish together.

Most of the soldiers' equipment was Rank 1. In the long years, the spirituality was lost, and it was as brittle as iron skin, breaking at a touch. One sword should be of Rank 2 quality, but more than half of the spirituality was lost, and there was no value.

On the spellcaster, Li Ang found a piece of equipment, which could be considered a harvest promised by the hidden location.

【Grasp of Mars】

【Carefully sewn leather gloves, containing fire spirituality, guiding magic can pop out sparks】

【Rank: 3】

【Category: Gloves】

【Equipment Skill: Spark Spray】

This was a spellcaster's equipment.

The equipment needed by fighters often didn't need to be too fancy. Weapons emphasized sharpness, and armor emphasized toughness, which was basically enough.

For them, the attached skills were best adapted to their own profession or combat method. If they weren't adapted, then passive skills were better than active skills.

But spellcasters were completely different. If the equipment could attach extra spells, they wouldn't need too much time to pull magic and could have extra reaction means in critical moments.

The early divine gear for low-rank spellcasters was a pile of extra spells, which could project all equipment skills in an instant, acting as a temporary pseudo-turret.

【Skill: Spark Spray】

【Activation Method: Magic Excitation】

【The pleasure of hitting flint is increased a hundred times】

【Effect: Cone-shaped spray of scorching sparks】

After secretly stealing the energy source, this glove had no effect on Li Ang's recent battles, but if the price in the market was okay, and if there was a spellcaster in the team, it could also be used.

Putting it into his bag, Dorothy on the side glared over: "You just stuff things from dead people into your bag?"

"This is an adventurer."

One glove definitely couldn't be seen as the entire harvest. There should be other things in the Urban Interlayer.

The room was explored, Li Ang returned to the secret passage and headed toward the next secret door.

On the way, he asked: "So, you want to step into the world of adventure again?"

"Is it that obvious?"

"The words you said before and the things you did, it's hard not to see it, right?"

"Okay." Dorothy admitted.

"Don't want to get married?"

"Don't want to marry someone I hate, and—"

The lady had other reasons, but she didn't continue.

"Then refuse decisively," Li Ang said.

"Refuse? You don't know, he is a member of the number one top-tier regiment."

"Oh?" ===== CHAPTER 60 =====
