Chapter 42: Water of the Holy Spirit
"So, you've only known him for five days?"
"Um."
"You've been so obsessed with him in just five days? Have you been bewitched?"
As Rafi spoke, he took out his magic book and used a magic spell to dispel the spell on Smith.
Smith knew his mother was teasing him, and said shyly:
"You're so annoying, Mom! He saved me twice and helped me collect so much food."
"Could it be that he arranged those two times of danger? You better be more careful."
"No! His father was an upright knight who died in battle to protect Erathia."
"His father taught Qi Ge to abide by the eight spirits of humility, honor, bravery, sacrifice, mercy, spirituality, honesty and justice since he was a child. So how could Qi Ge deceive me?"
"Shouldn't the father chosen by the Mother Goddess be in another world? And he could have died in battle protecting Erathia? Have you ever considered that he lied to you about his life story?"
"No! Anyway, my meeting with him was arranged by the goddess of luck. My intuition has never been wrong since I was a child. I felt it when I saw him for the first time in the carriage. Mom, don't worry about it!"
"In that case, then you can think about it yourself."
"Um!"
Looking at Smith's engagement necklace, Qi Ge was speechless.
The good stuff is beyond doubt.
Messages can keep you in touch with Smith, which is a weakened version of the friend system.
The magic shield can greatly increase the survivability of cannon fodder whose health is originally very low.
For example, there is only one Harpy Hag, which only has 9 health points, but suddenly it has 20 more points of shield, which is equivalent to more than double the health points!
And most importantly, all members of the Mlak family have a +20 favorability rating towards the Seven Pigeons, which of course includes the legendary hero Sir Mlak.
It is very difficult to increase the favorability of NPCs. Usually some small tasks can only give 1 point of favorability, and some tasks may not even give any.
In his two lifetimes, Qi Ge had never seen an NPC as crazy and free as Little Loli Smith.
It might have something to do with the fact that Qi Ge saved her twice in a row.
A young girl who is naive about the world falls in love too easily.
Qi Ge sighed.
Although this thing is good, I dare not accept it casually!
He equipped Smith's love necklace.
System prompt: Players equip Smith's Prayer Bracelet, Smith's Secret Ribbon, and Smith's Token Necklace to activate the set effect.
Girl's Attachment (3/5): Two-piece set effect, troop morale +1. Three-piece set effect: random post-battle reward +10%
Qi Ge took off the necklace with great willpower and took a deep breath.
Isn't this forcing me to commit a crime?
At what age is considered an adult in the Continent of Heroes?
No! Qi Ge! How can you have such a dirty thought!
Can't the love be confirmed by family affection?
The girl must think of you as her own brother! A brother should love his sister all his life, which is very reasonable.
From today on, please call me Qi Ge Ai Hua La M La Ke.
So Qi Ge put on the necklace again.
It’s not that our army is ineffective, but that the enemy is too cunning.
Random post-battle reward +10%, the three-piece set effect is too strong.
Every battle is equivalent to 10% more random benefits than other players, which adds up to a huge amount over time.
I feel that if the five-piece set of Smith can be completed, the benefits may exceed some artifacts synthesized from real treasures.
Is this the 12 o'clock inspiration?
Love it.
I was wrong. I can't do it. Even if you give me 20 points of inspiration, I still can't do it.
Qi Ge feels that Smith Loli is like a bottomless treasure pit. Every time you think you have reached the bottom, you will find that it can be deeper and there will be better treasures in the depths.
Bring surprises to Qige again and again.
Who can resist such waves of temptation?
System prompt: Smith sent you a text message, do you want to read it?
Schmidt sent a message so quickly?
"read."
"Qi Ge is a big idiot! If you take off the necklace again next time, I will ignore you! Humph! Humph!"
Girl, did you install a surveillance camera in your necklace?
You are suspected of peeping into other people's privacy and will be sentenced to detention of no more than 5 days.
Qi Ge thought about Smith's angry look and was amused.
Reply to:
"Got it. I'll take it off when I have the artifact necklace."
Then he waited outside the door for three seconds.
Sure enough, the door was opened.
Schmidt rushed out and headbutted Qi Ge in the stomach!
Qi Ge watched Smith trying to dig his head into his stomach without resisting, just smiling foolishly.
Smith stopped drilling. Qi Ge felt something was wrong. He held up Smith's head and found that tears were welling up in the little girl's eyes.
Qi Ge felt a pain in his heart, and he rubbed Smith's cheek and asked, "What's wrong?"
Smith pouted his lips in grievance and said, "Qi Ge, although I am only a junior treasure maker now, I will definitely become very powerful in the future. By then, I will upgrade the necklace to a divine weapon. Please don't take it off, okay?"
She actually took it seriously.
Qi Ge touched Smith's head guiltily and said, "Okay, I will definitely not take it off. I will wait for you to become very powerful for the rest of my life."
"You can't take off the necklace even if you have a sacred artifact!"
"I won't pick it, I promise!"
"Hey, let's make a pinky promise!"
The two hooked their fingers together, and Qi Ge looked at Smith's happy smile and felt healed in his heart.
At this moment, a ray of light emerged from the place where the two people had made pinky promises. Qi Ge was surprised to see that the light split into two, one flew towards Smith and the other flew towards Qi Ge.
System prompt: Congratulations to the player for completing the hidden mission Touched by the Holy Spirit Aruchi.
The inspiration of the Holy Spirit Aruchi
Mission requirements: Touch the Holy Spirit Aruchi.
Mission reward: Blessing of Holy Spirit Aruchi, Water of the Holy Spirit.
Mission description: Holy Spirit Aruchi is the holy spirit in charge of marriage. Smith received the attention and love of Holy Spirit Aruchi when he was a child.
Seeing that Smith was getting thinner and thinner because of the war, Aruchi was very anxious.
Until your appearance gave Holy Spirit Aruchi hope.
Thanks to your efforts, Smith's smile returned to him, and the Holy Spirit Aruchi shed tears of emotion as he looked at the pure love between you.
Blessing of the Holy Spirit Aruchi: When using the magical Holy Spirit's blessing, the effect is increased by one level, and can be increased to the legendary level at most.
Water of the Holy Spirit: Tears of the Holy Spirit, has incredible effects (attack, defense, knowledge, and magic power are all +1 after use).
System prompt: You are no longer being followed by Holy Spirit Aruchi.
This Holy Spirit has a bad eye. It is clear that there is pure family affection between Smith and me!
However, this blessing is a bit powerful. The improved effect means that the beginner level becomes intermediate level, the intermediate level becomes advanced level, and the advanced level becomes master level !
It would be awesome if Qi Ge learned intermediate water magic, but the advanced Holy Spirit's Blessing has an effect on all enemies!
Water magic becomes even more powerful at advanced levels. Qi Ge can master a master-level magic before level 40.
And now that she has obtained the Water of Holy Spirit, she only needs to go to the tower and buy two fairy magic manuals to get the three items needed for Ke Ruoke's job change.
After saying goodbye to Smith and returning to his room, Qi Ge frowned and thought hard.
There was something he had never dared to tell Smith.
The Smith family's greatest supporter, the legendary hero Baron, will die in the holy war two months later.
He was the first legendary NPC to die in the previous life's story.
It is estimated that Smith's father, Ivara Mlak, will also die in battle with Baron Mlak.
Because in his previous life, Qi Ge had no impression of the name Aihuala.
When he completed the mission of "expelling the undead from Aiwa Laling" in his previous life, the castle where Smith lived now had become a ruin and all the villages had been massacred.
Qi Ge guessed that it was probably done by that team of demons.
The butterfly has already flapped its wings, and the question is whether the annihilation of the Gog team will prompt the demons to send out stronger troops again.
Now with Smith's engagement necklace, all members of the Mlak family are natural allies of Qi Ge, and Qi Ge doesn't want to see Smith cry.
Rescue is necessary, but Qi Ge has no idea how Mrak died in the battle.
In the previous life, when Mrak had the accident, the Seven Pigeons were not strong enough to participate in that battle.
No, it wasn’t just Qi Ge. It should be said that all the players in the previous life were not strong enough to participate in that holy war.
The current Seven Pigeons are definitely not qualified to rescue them. They must improve their combat effectiveness as much as possible within two months. Level 30 is the threshold to enter the holy war front. To have a certain influence on the holy war, one must at least become a level 40 master.
Time is very tight and I have to change jobs as soon as possible.
At dawn the next day, Qi Ge accompanied Smith to various villages to deliver dry food for the march.
About 1,000 units of march rations were sent to each village. If too many were sent, not only would the village warehouses be unable to store them all, but it would also be unsafe.
When they arrived at the last village, Laer, Qi Ge received a system message.
System prompt: The duration of the second type of the City Portal Scroll has expired and it will return to its original location. Please prepare yourself, Qi Ge. Countdown 1 hour.
Has it been three days so soon?
Qi Ge told Smith the news that he was about to be teleported back, so the two of them quickly handed over the food to the villagers and returned to the castle amid the villagers' gratitude.
We arrived at the castle with only 2 minutes left.
Smith was very reluctant to leave, so he took Qi Ge's hand and said, "Qi Ge, I don't dare to leave the castle without anyone to protect me now. Can you come over once a week to help me deliver dry food to the villagers?"
"Of course!" I'm your brother!
System prompt: Accept the mission: Escort Smit
Escort Smit
Weekly tasks
Mission requirements: Escort Smith to three villages to deliver food.
Mission Reward: 500 experience points, 1 point of Schmidt's favorability
Get a random alchemy item every two weeks
"Qi Ge, you are so nice!" Qi Ge saw Smith standing on tiptoe and slowly approaching his face.
Smith closed his eyes, his long eyelashes trembled, his face was white and rosy, and some tiny blood vessels could be vaguely seen.
Getting closer and closer, Qi Ge felt Smith's hot breath on the tip of his nose and swallowed.
System prompt: Return to the original location, the second type of the return scroll has been used.
Qi Ge felt his eyes blurred and he returned to the place where he used the scroll to return to town. He came face to face with a group of ogres. The ogres' stinking mouths exhaled foul air on Qi Ge's face.
You came back to me now!
It's messing with my mentality!
The ogre opened his big mouth and bit towards Qi Ge, but Qi Ge remained calm, dodged sideways, set the supply vehicle to combat status, and then hit the ogre's stomach with his knee!
