Chapter 22: Reliable Sun Brother

"Want to touch it?"

Stellan carefully touched the summoning mark, and suddenly a golden phantom appeared on it, scaring her so much that she jumped back.

Because the summoning mark was no longer touched, the golden phantom disappeared immediately.

“I can actually see the appearance of my collaborator.”

She touched the summoning mark again and studied the man's face carefully.

The body shape looks like that of a male. Why use the word "like"? Because the person is wearing full body armor, his face cannot be seen, and his sexual characteristics are not obvious.

This set of armor doesn't look very valuable. It is a very common style of armor. In the right hand, he holds a lance, and in the left hand, he holds a large shield that looks very safe.

The name appeared above his head: Mareda.

"I've never heard of this person," Stellan chose to summon. "Isn't he an adventurer?"

After a moment's wait, a burst of golden special effects flashed, and Mareda, covered in gold, appeared on the stage!

"Hey!"

As soon as he appeared, he greeted everyone in a generous manner. He seemed to be a warm and cheerful person. Such a person would definitely not do such a despicable thing as plotting against others.

Of course, this Mareda is also a skin of Gong Qiying.

This outfit is inspired by Dark Souls II's hostile NPC, the people's best friend, Mareda.

After all, Gong Qiying now looks like a zombie, so of course he can't show his true face to others.

"Hello, my name is Stellan,"

Stellan looked around at Gong Qiying and was amazed. It turned out that the summoned helper would turn into a golden spirit, and looked so handsome.

"Are you an adventurer too? Why are you drawing a summoning mark here?"

She had finally encountered a new and interesting existence, so she wanted to get to the bottom of it.

Gong Qiying hadn't talked to anyone for a long time and seemed very excited at the moment.

"No, no, I'm not an adventurer. I'm just traveling and training myself."

"As for the summoning mark, you need a tool called the hook finger. Use the hook finger to draw the summoning mark on the ground, and it will be visible to those who have used the hook finger potion."

Stellan immediately stepped forward and asked, "Where can I get the hook finger?"

After she finished speaking, she realized something was wrong and quickly added, "I can give you a reward in exchange for information."

Gong Qiying shook his head and said enthusiastically: "No need for compensation. We are all people working hard in the dungeon. Helping each other is basic common sense."

I really met a good person this time.

It has been a long time since Stellan heard the word "mutual help" from strangers. Nowadays, adventurers are afraid that others will get the benefits from the dungeon before them. It is good enough if they don't cheat others after meeting them. If they can give a few words of advice, they are considered good people.

Her favorability towards Gong Qiying increased significantly.

Gong Qiying pointed to the fortress in the distance and said, "Go out from the back door of the fortress and enter the village there. Pass through a large number of enemies and you will find the Hook Finger on the edge of a cliff in the village. Not far from the Hook Finger you will enter the next area, which looks like a huge tree hole."

"Hey," Stellan's eyes widened, "Could it be that you have already conquered that disgusting village?"

Gong Qiying nodded without comment. In Stellan's eyes, this was the margin of strength that belonged to the strong.

For a time, the image status of "Mareda" in her mind was improved.

Stellan's eyes were burning, as if she had seen a treasure. "Can I ask you to take me to conquer the village? I will also prepare a reward. Just tell me what you want!"

I thought Gong Qiying would ask for compensation, but he just shook his head and said, "I really don't need compensation. If you want to repay me, just talk to me. I haven't talked to anyone for a long time. I don't know much about the outside world, ahem, some news."

"Leave it to me. I have to watch the news every day."

Soon after, the golden Gong Qiying and Stellan were walking side by side in the swamp, but if you look closely, you can find that it was actually Stellan who was following the other.

In the swamp, Gong Qiying showed unparalleled proficiency. He often found small paths to avoid monsters and even hidden shortcuts leading directly to the beacon fire, which Stellan and her companions had never discovered.

What's even more clever is that Gong Qiying seemed to know the monsters' perception range. He was able to avoid the monsters' perception range at an extremely close distance and walked past them with a swagger as if he was in an empty space, which made Stellan admire him again and again.

"You must have been groping around here for a long time, right?"

"I just explored it a little bit."

This is the style of a master!

Stellan admires everyone who is stronger than her. Regardless of strength, just in terms of the ability to explore dungeons, Gong Qiying has demonstrated abilities far beyond hers.

Stellan thought it was impossible for her to find those hidden shortcuts with tricky angles because they were hidden too deeply.

During this period of time, Gong Qiying gradually completed his information database.

Before, he only knew that there was a city called Beder nearby, where adventurers lived. Now, he learned from Stellan about the main members of the Beder family and their respective characteristics. For example, Charon was a big fool, Wilder was a sissy, and Sally was simply a beautiful transvestite.

These reviews are highly subjective.

Later he learned more about the power classification in this world: lower, middle, upper, king, saint, legend. It was a very simple classification method. There was no upper limit to the professions a person could learn in his lifetime. As long as one had the talent and time, one could keep learning, with basically no restrictions.

Even weapons, props, magic, etc. can be simply and crudely applied to the level of strength. The setting of this world is too easy to understand.

Although Stellan was puzzled as to why Gong Qiying asked such an obvious question, she was just confused. Gong Qiying's reliability made her not doubt the possibility that he was a monster.

Are you kidding? How could a monster with such low intelligence learn human language?

In addition to these basic knowledge, Gong Qiying also learned some knowledge that is of no use now, such as gossip about the president of the Adventurer's Guild.

The top combat force in human society seems to be a magician named Koweed, who is the magic adviser to the royal family. His strength has long reached the legendary level, but he has not appeared in the public eye for decades. Some people rumored that he is dead.

The place where the elves live is called the Elf Forest. The ruler, the Elf Queen, also possesses legendary power, but most elves are peace-loving, so they live in a corner of the beautiful forest.

Dwarves like to live in the mountains and are extremely talented in forging and brewing, which fits the outside world's stereotype of them. They gather under the command of the Dwarf King and are a force that cannot be underestimated.

The large amount of information he obtained today made Gong Qiying quite satisfied, so satisfied that he even wanted to burp.

After a while, they arrived at the gate of the fortress.

"You opened the door so quickly," Stellan's eyes had changed from respect to admiration when she looked at him. This was the first person she had seen who could pass through the poisonous swamp so quickly!

"Get your weapons ready, the battle is about to begin,"
