Chapter 8 First Kill

Money? Ethan didn't have money. Not only did he have money, he now brought all his property with him. Apart from his clothes, he only had the basic spiritual cultivation and the island pointer of Stat Island. He also brought some dry food and clean water with him.

"It's impossible to grab it, I don't have that strength."

After thinking about it, the only way to help Roger camp and sell labor in exchange for what you want is the safest way, and there will be no accidents.

After a good night of rest, Ethan ran to find Akara early the next morning. Only Akara could have a conversation with him. He needed Akara to convey his intentions to others.

Akara's tent is not difficult to find. As one of the only senior priests in the Blind Eyes Monastery, Akara has a high status in the camp. There is a separate area in the northeast corner of the camp for the nuns, and the largest tent belongs to Akara alone.

Of course, Akara herself will also use her excellent healing and ability to make potions to ensure the combat effectiveness of Rogers. In any aspect, she is one of the most important figures in the entire camp.

When Ethan found her, Akara was standing outside her tent, staring at the plants in a daze, as if she was thinking about something. Until Ethan walked in front of her, she blocked the light that was not much, and then she turned her head.

"Young mage apprentice, do you need any help when you come to me?"

"Hello, Priest Akara, I do have some things to help you." Ethan sorted out his words, and then continued with his mental power: "You can see that I am penniless now and I don't have anything to exchange for travel expenses, so I want to do something within my ability to exchange for some rewards so that I can buy some protective weapons and enough food."

Akara nodded and understood Ethan's meaning: "So, do you want me to help you convey your meaning?" Ethan could not communicate directly with the people in the camp, so she could only translate it through her. It's nothing strange. "I'll write a few notes for you later and teach you some simple words, which should be enough to solve your troubles."

She did it as soon as she said it. Akara is an absolute action-oriented person. After agreeing, she immediately wrote several simple notes, such as, "Do you need help?", "I can do some work!", "I need to earn the money to go home!", etc., and then she wrote all the long sentences, and then told Ethan, asking him to write the words he knew on several notes to distinguish them.

At the same time, I taught Ethan's simple terms such as "Hello" in front of the tent, and it took less than three hours to complete all of this. The speed of learning surprised Ethan himself.

"I didn't learn English so quickly in my previous life."

Not only did he learn quickly, but he also remembered it very clearly. After learning more than a dozen words, Ethan found that he was not confused at all.

"As Gu Yi said before, as his mental power increases, learning language is not a troublesome thing, it is true."

Strong mental power will directly strengthen people's memory ability. Although it cannot make people's IQ very high, it will indeed make people remember a lot of information more easily. This talent that many ordinary people envy is actually a necessary skill for advanced mages.

After half a day of study, Akara discovered that although Ethan had not really started on the path of a mage, his mental control and memory were already considered a qualified mage apprentice. Suddenly, he remembered his current troubles and began to consider whether the young man in front of him was a suitable choice.

After thinking for a moment, she made a decision. It was already the limit for Rogers to guard the camp. In addition, they had to go out regularly to inspect the camp, clear up more and more dark creatures, and collect all the resources they could use. Rogers did not have more energy to do other things.

“If you really want to do something, there is one thing you need to help at the moment.”

When Ethan heard this, he suddenly remembered that when he was playing the game, Akara was the character who released the first task in the first act. At this time, he suddenly said that he needed his own help. Could it be the task in the game?

"That's a combat mission that requires one person to kill countless dark creatures. Can I do it?"

While he was still struggling with whether to refuse politely, Akara's next words made him realize that he was thinking too much.

She is thin, has no protective gear or weapons. Although she is a mage, she is obviously not yet in the art. Akara is not such an unreliable person. What she wants to ask Ethan to do is not to clean up the evil caves. Instead, she hopes Ethan can collect some herbs near the camp.

"The darkness is getting closer and the pressure on the Rogers is getting stronger and stronger. Now the Rogers are forced to shrink in the camp to defend, and they can't even free up people to collect supplies. In this way, fewer and fewer herbs can be used to make potions, so I need to add a lot of herbs to make potions."

Akara herself cannot leave the camp. Not only her, but even lower nuns are strictly protected in the camp and cannot go out casually. So these things can only be done by others.

“Collect herbs?”

It doesn't sound difficult? This task can be taken.

When Akara saw Ethan, she was interested in helping her, and introduced in detail the shape and characteristics of the herbs she needed, and even took out a few pictures to facilitate Ethan's identification.

"But you have to be careful. According to the returns of the patrol Rogs, the number of dark creatures near the camp is gradually increasing, and even some local creatures are beginning to be attacked by dark forces, so even if they are only near the camp, it is no longer absolutely safe."

Ethan nodded, so he was not going to leave the camp too far, otherwise he would not even be able to escape if something happened.

"I will write a note, you can take it to Kasha, and she will help you prepare some self-defense weapons."

"Then I'll trouble you."

After taking the note, Ethan left Akara's tent and walked towards where Kasha was - the tall and strong woman stood in the center of the camp, more conspicuous than anything in the camp.

He walked to Kasha and handed over the note. Kasha casually scanned it and recognized that it was Akara's handwriting: "Are you going to help Akara collect herbs?"

Ethan did not answer because he couldn't understand at all, but he took a note from his hand and handed it over. It was one of the few sentences Akara had written for him before.

Sure enough, Kasha understood after seeing the above sentence, "I need to earn the reward I need to go home." He didn't say anything more about it, and turned his head to explain to Roger beside him, and stood there and looked at the young man in front of him.

At this time, Ethan couldn't understand what the tall woman opposite was muttering, otherwise she would be very depressed.

“Too thin!”

"It seems that the strength is seriously insufficient!"

"Even a light leather armor like this kind of physique will cause a burden. Prepare a light weapon for him, and then forget about the protective gear."

"I should really train well. I can beat ten people with such a person."

Although Ethan, who had no idea, felt that Kasha's eyes seemed to be malicious, he still said thank you after taking a short sword and a small shield.

"I wish you a safe return, young man!"

Ethan understood this sentence. Before leaving, Akara specially taught him this sentence and said it to him in person.

"Thank you again."

The scabbard inserted into the scabbard, and the small shield that was not big was carried casually. Ethan walked out of the camp slowly and firmly.

How could it be if he said he wasn't afraid?

Although I have lived for a lifetime, I have never encountered such a situation in my previous life that I need to fight in battle, and I am facing monsters that have been eroded and mutated by dark forces.

"Low or later, you have to face all this, and you must not be afraid!"

Taking a deep breath, Ethan finally walked out of the camp and walked towards the woodland not far away in the voice of Rogers' "I wish you a safe return!"

Bloody Wasteland, this is the area where Camp Roger is currently located.

Although the name is a wasteland, there are still many animals and plants, but the color does not look very normal. Perhaps this is the specific manifestation of the increasingly serious erosion of the world by the power of darkness.

Ethan didn't know that even the herbs needed by Akara were eroding by the dark power. Every time she made the potion, she had to use purification magic to remove the dark energy contained in it before she could continue to make the potion. The potion made in this way had a much worse effect, which was one of the reasons why the potion was getting less and less sufficient.

"As long as you don't go too far, you probably won't encounter any monsters, right?"

Rogers have to patrol every day, clear the surroundings of the camp, and prevent more and more monsters from hitting the camp. So it is normal that they can't touch monsters as long as they don't go too far.

Unfortunately, the goddess of luck did not favor Ethan. He had just walked to a place where he could barely see the camp, and found the first herb he needed. At the same time, he also saw two zombies with slightly ragged clothes hanging and stiff movements wandering in front of the herbs.

"There are only two zombies, no other monsters."

This is an excellent training opportunity. The zombie moves slowly and dullly. Although it is very powerful, it is not difficult to hide with his flexibility. Moreover, there are only two zombies, and as long as they destroy one by raid at the beginning, they only need to destroy the remaining one by one.

Ethan first made up his mind to make up his mind to pull out his short sword and rushed forward.

In order to deal with one of the zombies as soon as possible, Ethan not only raised his speed to the fastest, but also jumped up to increase the momentum when he rushed to the zombie, and then slammed the shield in his left hand on the zombie's head.

"You have to take the lead when you fight zombies!"

A shield knocked the zombie down, and Ethan immediately waved the dagger in his right hand and slammed the head of the falling zombie!

After watching countless novels and movies, I have a good understanding of monsters like zombies, and there are countless "predecessors" who have capsized due to carelessness to alert myself.
