C205 Depends on Each Other(2)
"Marina, your movements are too large. You need to use instantaneous explosive force. But you cannot rely on force to achieve your goal. Try to reduce the range of your attacks. Maybe you can master it faster. " While forging the iron, I guided Marina.
Marina heard him and raised the spear to the standard. The tip of the spear lightly pressed against the olives suspended in the air and entered a state of meditation.
In the evening, the customers came to retrieve their goods. As the materials were very ordinary, I can only receive a salary of two silver coins. Marina saw that I had been busy for the whole day and only received two silver coins. She couldn't help but feel sad, "Demon Dragon, I'll help you pull the bellows tomorrow."
After night fell, Marina and I slept on our respective beds. A thin wooden plank blocked my view, allowing me to clearly hear Marina tossing and turning. Marina and I were so close, but the knot in my heart made that wooden wall become a natural chasm. Cecilia pointed out a path for me, but I still felt uneasy. Marina has the metal attribute, and Ekdo's characteristics are very obvious in the wood attribute. I also need the help of my comrades in the fire, earth, and water attributes. But, for my own matters, can I drag them all into a dangerous whirlpool? The name of the Lady of Pain is too terrifying. What will happen if we rashly disturb her?
With Marina accompanying me, I slowly feel that life seems to have a taste. Marina is training day after day. I am also training in the last cycle of dark magic. When I have a business to do, Marina will help me forge iron. Pull the bellows. Although her culinary skills are still not good, she still insists on cooking and washing my clothes every day. This kind of dull life sometimes makes me feel that Talitha has returned to my side.
Ever since that day, Cecilia never came to find me again. Ekdo also goes missing from time to time to chase after his happy life with the wild beasts. After having Marina as a drinking friend, I slowly stopped drinking. My body gradually recovered its strength, but the last cycle of dark magic did not allow me to advance very well. The cultivation of the Confusion Spell was clearly just a step away, but the final obstacle was like a mountain that stubbornly blocked my path.
Winter passed and spring came. The snow melted. Marina had already mastered the "Fairy Scattering Flowers," and her level had risen to 62. I secretly laughed in my heart. I shouldn't have been pulled down by Marina to level 20, right?
Marina seemed to be in a very good mood today. She put on some makeup and carefully dressed up. She was even more beautiful and moving.
"Demon Dragon, let's close for a day today. I want to walk around the city." Marina narrowed her eyes, looking very expectant. Ever since Marina came to Rogge, I have not brought her to the city to play. Naturally, I cannot reject this request.
Marina put on some light makeup. Her beauty that captivated all living things attracted countless gazes in the city. No one in Rogge City deliberately looks down on my profession, so I am playing in the city. Our mood is still very good. There is a freshwater lake in the city, and there are many fish in the lake. Guests can fish freely there, fish that they catch. The boss sold the fish to the customers according to the weight, but it was double the price in the market.
After a winter's rest, the fish were plump and juicy. The boss built a pub near the fish pond, where many people came to fish and eat.
Marina insisted on fishing a few fish to try the freshness, so we took the fishing equipment from the boss. We sat by the lake to fish. In the gradually warm weather, the wind blew and the afternoon sun shone on his shoulders. It made people feel indolent. The beautiful Marina sat by the side and laughed softly. Ever since Talitha left, I have not experienced this kind of peaceful state of mind for hundreds of years.
Isn't this also very good? If I could live and die normally, life wouldn't always have a malevolent face for me.
"The fish bit the hook, why are you in a daze?" Marina held my hand and pulled back the rod. However, the cunning fish had already eaten the bait and sunk into the water.
"Look at you. You can't catch a fish for a long time. " Marina softly scolded my stupidity, "Look, I have already caught two fish." In the basin beside Marina, there were two fish weighing two kilograms swimming leisurely. Marina smiles very proudly, "Do you think we will be braised or steamed later?"
I looked at the leisurely fish and thought, do you guys understand Marina's words? If you can understand, will you still be so relaxed? I laughed. A stupid fish is about to be steamed or braised. But now, because I'm full, I'm immersed in happiness.
Marina put away the fishing gear and said, "Happiness is actually very simple. If you are as stupid as a fish, you will also be very happy." After a pause, Marina softly said, "You are even dumber than a fish."
I was in a daze and did not say anything. I held the basin of water and went with Marina to find the boss to settle the bill.
"Customer, do you think the small restaurant will help you with the fish or do you want to bring it back to cook?" The boss's business was very good. If he were to do it, he could increase his income and also sell wine at the same time.
Marina smiled and said, "I'm on strike today. I want to enjoy the taste of being served."
Of course, I'm happy to fulfill this request. Although Marina's culinary skills have improved a little, she is still not comparable to a professional chef.
"Let's go, let's drink some wine first!" Thinking that we will be able to taste the fresh and delicious fish in a while, Marina's eyes lit up. She pulled my arm and quickly ran into the tavern.
