[Chapter 20 On the way to Iron Tree Castle]

As the small round pancake slowly emerged from the horizon, the sky gradually became brighter. David, who had already packed up and finished breakfast, carried his full bag on his back.

Because he was carrying a backpack, he had to hold the hunting bow in his hand, which also made it convenient for him to respond in time when he encountered danger. Compared

with David, Laura’s backpack was much smaller, which allowed her to hang the hunting bow on the outside of the backpack. In addition to not having to hold it separately with her hands, it was also convenient for her to use it at any time.

In addition to the bow and arrow, Laura usually hung two mountaineering picks on her waist, and David had a hand axe on his waist.

This was the surface armament of the two people. There was also a pistol hidden under the clothes, and a shotgun was hidden on the side of Laura’s backpack. In addition, David was already an excellent Holy Light priest, so the safety of the two people on this journey was guaranteed. After

saying goodbye to Fording and Mark, David and Laura set off for Iron Tree Castle…

an hour later.

Walking along the river on the green grass that exuded a faint fragrance, Laura felt that this trip was more like a picnic or an outing: “It would be more like that if the backpack was not so heavy.”

“Just think of it as a picnic! It’s boring to stay in the village all the time.”

Not to mention Laura, who never rests, David can’t stand it, especially in the past two years when there was almost no hope.

It was only in the past few months that David lived comfortably and had hope, so he stayed in the village happily.

After chatting and walking for a long time, David didn’t know how far the two had walked, but he felt that at this speed, he might reach Iron Tree Castle earlier than he had expected.

Both David and Laura were much stronger than ordinary people in terms of physical strength, and without the burden of a large group, they advanced at a very fast speed. After

walking for nearly a day, David decided to stop and prepare for the night while the sun had not really set and the light was still sufficient.

“Let’s rest here today.”

David looked around. The terrain was very flat and there was green grass everywhere. There was basically no place to shelter from the wind and rain. However, there was a gravel beach by the river, where they could make a fire.

As for firewood, David chose to stop here because there were a few crooked trees that didn’t look very good next to them. As long as they chopped a few branches as thick as their wrists, they would be enough to spend the night.

“I’m going to catch some fish in the river for dinner.” Laura put her backpack on the ground and walked towards the trees with David: “But I need some tools.”

Watching Laura pick a stick more than one meter long and then use a dagger to sharpen one end into a spike, David realized that Laura was going to use this thing to stab fish.

“Don’t you have a fish hook?”

“It’s more convenient to use this thing.” Laura examined her work and nodded with satisfaction: “I’m going to catch fish!”

David nodded to show that he understood and continued to collect firewood. Because he was focused enough, David quickly completed his work, collected enough firewood, and returned to the temporary camp that had been set previously.

On the gravel beach, a bonfire had been built with stones, and there were two processed fish placed not far from the bonfire.

“Laura?”

David looked around, but he didn’t see Laura. Could she still be in the river? Walking a few steps to the river, David found Laura’s clothes, shoes and socks, just thrown there casually.

“…”

She shouted again. David hadn’t decided whether to look around or go back to the bonfire to roast the fish first, when the sound of water came from the front.

Laura, who emerged from the river, wiped her face and greeted David excitedly: “It’s comfortable in the water. Don’t you want to take a bath after walking all day?”

“Ah… this…”

It sounded like such an attractive suggestion, especially since the person who invited him was the famous Laura, who was a world-famous adventurer in her previous life, the goddess in the hearts of countless people, and the search popularity on some websites has always been at the top of the list, steadily suppressing another goddess known as the Holy City.

“What? Are you shy?” Laura swam closer to the shore, carefully looking at David’s expression, and found it very interesting.

“How is that possible!” David defended himself with a serious face, “I just didn’t bring my swimsuit.”

Laura smiled and winked at David, “I didn’t bring one either!”

Plop! A beautiful splash of water…

“David and Laura must have had a hard time on this journey, right?” Mark was eating hot stew with a plate of pasta, and a TV series was playing on a laptop on the table – of course, it was brought by Laura. Fording, who

was sitting next to Mark, had finished the stew in front of him. He didn’t get up to get another portion, but sat in his seat and watched the TV series called Band of Brothers with Mark.

“David walked all the way to this place before, so it’s not a strange experience for him.” After a while, Fording answered Mark’s question: “Laura also has this kind of experience in traveling in the wild. However, the road must not be easy…” The

originally plump big fish lay on the gravel, watching itself gradually become thinner, and was completely abandoned after it was reduced to a skeleton.

Its eyes were still wide open, as if accusing the man and woman next to it. Unfortunately, neither the man nor the woman looked at it at this time, and they were frantically fighting for the last bit of fish meat in each other’s mouth.

In the fierce confrontation, the last piece of fish meat was completely worn out. Neither of them knew who was the winner in the end, or both of them might be the winners.

“I knew you’ve been craving me for a long time.” Laura’s actions were obviously premeditated. David looked up at the stars in the night sky and sighed, “Boys really have to protect themselves when they are outside, especially a handsome and strong boy like me.”

Laura looked at David’s expression, rolled her eyes and complained, “I don’t see how you look like a child.”

Looking at the clothes thrown next to the fire, David’s wet clothes had already dried, and then turned over and looked at the sky, “The night sky here is so beautiful.”

David didn’t respond, but just spread his arms as a pillow, and at the same time took the clothes from the side to cover Laura.

“When I was at home, I couldn’t see such a beautiful starry sky at night.” In the modern world, the conditions for seeing a starry night sky are too harsh. Anyway, living in the city or even in the suburbs, there is no way to see so many stars.

David didn’t say anything, just listened to Laura quietly, but didn’t expect Laura’s next sentence to make him shudder.

“You should have similar feelings, right?”

“Ah? Why do you say that?” David was playing dumb…

Laura turned her head and looked at David. What she saw was David’s innocent face and “pure” eyes. If his hands were so pure, Laura might believe it.

But Laura didn’t continue to dwell on this topic. Maybe she felt that the answer forced out by force, whether true or false, was useless.

Since David didn’t want to talk about it now, let’s talk about it later!

Close your eyes, and the extremely tiring day ended just like that. Seeing that Laura had fallen asleep, David closed his eyes too.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already bright, and the sun had risen high. In addition, the two of them needed some time to sort out. When they set out again, it was almost noon.

“We should set an alarm.”

Laura felt that she got up a little late, which would affect her journey; but David didn’t think there was anything wrong. He had consumed so much energy yesterday, and he could only recover after resting more. If you force yourself to travel without enough energy, you will not only not be able to walk too far, but it will also easily hurt your body.

“I’m very strong.” Laura made a bodybuilding pose while walking, wanting to show off her biceps that could kill a cow with one punch. Then she suddenly looked at David and a strange smile appeared on her face: “Could it be…”

“Don’t you know my physical fitness?” Not to mention that she was a hunter who made a living by hunting wild beasts, David’s physical fitness has been improving since he learned the way of the Holy Light from Fording. Now he can beat himself up with his bare hands a few months ago.

Even so, he didn’t see the end. Under the protection of the Holy Light, he seemed to be able to improve unlimitedly as long as he was willing to work hard. If he continued to practice like this, he suspected that he would soon have a body of steel, even if it was a bankrupt version!

“Speaking of the Holy Light… I really envy you for mastering the Holy Light so quickly.” Laura also learned the knowledge of the Holy Light from Fording, but like Mark, although she understood what the way of the Holy Light was, she still did not get the favor of the Holy Light.

Do you have to do those things in person as Fording said in order to get the recognition of the Holy Light? But even if she wanted to help people in need, no one needed her help now – the most difficult one was David in front of her, and she really helped him a lot.

“It would be great if you could share some of your Holy Light with me.”

“What?”

“I said, it would be great if you could share some of your Holy Light with me.” Laura thought David just didn’t hear clearly, after all, the two were on their way: “I also want to feel what it feels like to have mysterious power.”

Although she had already felt the effects of auxiliary spells such as Holy Light Shield, the spells that were not cast by herself could only make her marvel at the effects of the spells.

After hearing this, David suddenly stopped and thought about Laura’s words: “It seems that it is not impossible.”

“Ah?” Laura just said a few words casually, but she didn’t expect David to really have such an idea: “Are you serious? There won’t be any problem, right?”

“It shouldn’t be.”

David thought carefully and made sure that there was no hidden danger in his idea, because there was a group in the world of Azeroth that used Holy Light in this way.

Before coming to this world, David was still controlling his blood elf paladin to find a Feng Shui treasure land in Azeroth!

“However, we need to study the specific operation of this method carefully. We will try it after we return from Iron Tree Fort.”
