[Chapter 438: Bard One-Day Experience Card]

“Can I ask in detail what happened to the series of hunter disappearances before Captain Dutch entered the Everwinter Forest?” David did not rush to take the task, but asked a series of questions: “And what is the situation of Captain Dutch’s men?”

David kept talking to the sheriff with these questions, and soon confirmed that the sheriff in front of him, named Shane, was not a pure brainless NPC, but a living “person”.

The other party has his own life and his own ideas, and is not a mechanical tool that only completes the work of issuing tasks.

As for why the sheriff triggered a conversation similar to the game NPC when he saw him, it was all based on the basic common sense of this continent.

David also learned from Sheriff Shane some basic common sense information that he did not ask from Asegos.

There are many cities on the entire Yanela continent. These cities are independent countries and have no subordinate relationship with each other.

In other words, the Yanela continent is still in the city-state era, and there are large areas of disorder between forces.

At the same time, there are various races on the continent of Yanela, including humans, forest elves, dark elves, mountain dwarves, crypt dwarves, half-orcs, half-demons, etc. Some of

these races are scattered all over the continent, while others gather into tribes and villages to form their own forces.

Generally speaking, each family takes care of their own affairs, and no one will care about things outside the territory – this has spawned a special group: adventurers.

Adventurers are similar to mercenaries, and there is almost no difference between the two. They earn their rewards by accepting various commissions, and the composition of adventurers is very complex, with all kinds of races.

But adventurers have several things in common: they have extraordinary abilities and like to wander around!

Generally speaking, nine out of ten unfamiliar faces who are not locals and can be safe and sound and seem to have not encountered any trouble are adventurers.

“By the way, you are a bard?”

“You have a great eye. How did you tell that?”

“I have been a sheriff for many years and have seen some adventurers. Handsome young men like you who are good at speaking are basically bards.”

David smiled and drank the wine offered by Sheriff Shane. He was ready to look around and then enter the Everwinter Forest to investigate what happened to Captain Dutch and his men.

“Good luck!”

David nodded and smiled as he and Laura left the small inn that also operated as a tavern.

Standing on the largest gravel road in Everwinter Town, David ignored Laura’s question: “Bard?”

“Why? Can’t I be a bard part-time?” David pointed to his face. With his charm, is there any problem in pretending to be a bard?

“Can you play the piano? Or can you sing?”

“Do you want to hear me sing?”

“Come to think of it, I’ve never heard you sing… Maybe when we meet enemies or beasts later, you can sing to cheer me up.”

“Good suggestion, that’s it!”

After a brief tour of Yongdong Town, David headed deep into Yongdong Forest according to the information he got from Sheriff Shane.

The two were skilled and bold, and did not rest in the town for a night, but waited until the next morning to enter the forest.

They didn’t think there was anything in the forest that could threaten them, as for the element that caused Dutch and his team to disappear collectively…

“Do you think we will meet the Predator? Or the Alien?”

Laura looked at the portrait of Captain Dutch that she had asked from Sheriff Shane. The Terminator’s visual sense finally reminded her where she had seen this “plot”.

“It should be the Predator, right?”

The team led by the governor of Forest California was obviously the plot of the Predator. Although there were some changes, the general direction did not change.

“If it’s an alien, we shouldn’t be contacting Dutch, but Ripley.”

“Is Ripley on the list?”

“No.”

The two of them walked freely in the forest. The thick snow did not make them feel any difficulty. They did not need to observe carefully. They could find the most correct route by relying on their peripheral vision and feeling.

Both David and Laura have rich experience in wilderness survival. With the improvement of their respective qualities and the learning of a lot of “hunter” knowledge, their abilities in this area have been greatly enhanced.

It can be said that both of them are wilderness survival experts. This is also the reason why Laura stayed here with David, not just because Laura likes adventure more.

“It’s dark.” Laura looked up at the night sky with beautiful aurora. She didn’t expect to see such a beautiful scenery here: “Continue on the road or take a night’s rest?”

“Keep going. I have a feeling we’ll find something soon.”

“I hope your feeling is accurate!”

David’s feeling was accurate. After walking for another hour, David and Laura found clues to Dutch’s team.

They were several soldiers who died in a miserable way. Their broken bodies were just thrown there. One of them was skinned and hung on a tree nearby.

David looked around and didn’t find Dutch’s body. Instead, he found the Iron Blood Warrior hiding in the dark and preparing to harm him, and Dutch’s head hung on his waist.

“…”

David felt speechless. Did this Iron Blood Warrior think that he couldn’t find him because he was invisible? Naive!

He winked at Laura who was standing beside him. Laura secretly gave him an expression of “I found it too”, and then without warning, he grasped the mechanical bow that had transformed into his hand and took out an arrow from the ring.

Pull the bow!

Infuse with holy light!

Holy light shooting!

Boom!

The whole set of movements was smooth and seamless. The moment Laura let go, the Iron Warrior had been hit by the holy light shot. The huge holy light infused on the arrow burst out with dazzling light, which not only caused heavy damage to the Iron Warrior, but also lifted the Iron Warrior’s stealth state.

Looking at the flickering light and electric current on the Iron Warrior, it seems that this powerful arrow has broken the Iron Warrior’s stealth function.

The Iron Warrior who fell to the ground did not lose consciousness. His excellent combat awareness allowed him to launch a counterattack at the first time. The plasma cannon on his shoulder emitted beams of light. Although it did not hit David and Laura, it formed a barrage of bullets, blasting dust, snow, and wood chips from tree trunks everywhere, trying to cover his next move. The

Iron Warrior’s response cannot be said to be bad. If it were an ordinary adventurer… Well, ordinary adventurers might have been directly attacked by him, just like Dutch’s team.

At this time, facing David and Laura, his resistance was all meaningless and dying. The barrage of plasma beams, as well as the dust and snow in the sky, could not stop Laura at all.

The Iron Warrior, who had no idea that he had been “marked”, was hit by several arrows in succession, one of which accurately shot and smashed his shoulder cannon.

Unable to stand up, the Iron Warrior, who knelt on the ground dejectedly, looked at the gradually approaching human. The woman who looked neither tall nor strong actually knocked him down so easily, which made him have a huge doubt in his heart: Women on this planet are so strong?

However, the next second, his doubts were broken by a strange and huge voice:

“You are my little apple, I can never love you enough…”

The loud and high-pitched voice spread far in the silent night, but this was not the point. The point was that the Iron Warrior and Laura were both in a state of confusion. Laura even shot the ultimate move that could kill the Iron Warrior in front of her.

“…”

He took out the arrow again, and it was still filled with holy light. After perfectly controlling the force, he shot the Iron Warrior’s chest with one arrow, killing the enemy and leaving his body intact.

“I filled the wine glass for you to stay… Huh?” David was singing happily beside him, and suddenly felt something. He looked at the Iron Warrior who had just been shot by Laura in surprise: “It seems that this plan is promising.”

“You upgraded?”

“I’m so powerful now, it’s not that easy to upgrade.” David closed his eyes and felt it carefully: “I just feel that I finally have a connection with the land under my feet, and we are no longer resisting each other like we did at the beginning.”

“This is good news.” Laura just remembered that she should let David kill the Iron Warrior, but her whole head was buzzing just now. David’s singing was too terrible. Fortunately, it didn’t affect anything: “Also, you sing very well, don’t sing it again in the future.”

“…” David just decided that he would act as a bard on the continent of Yanera.

I didn’t expect that I would be forced to resign after only being a bard for less than a day: “I just used shadow magic to sing, but it didn’t have any effect?”

“No, the effect was too good, even I was affected.” Laura finally understood why the Iron Blood Warrior became sluggish and why her brain suddenly became inflexible. It turned out that she was really affected by David’s singing: “But when did you master the shadow magic?”

“I temporarily extracted it from the shadow space.” The side effect of learning stealth is that David knows how to “connect” to the shadow space.

Now that he knows where that world is, it is not difficult for a spellcaster like him to draw some energy.

He didn’t plan to store shadow energy in his body, and he would draw it as he used it. Anyway, it was not difficult for David.

However, unless he could solve the problem of not distinguishing between enemies and friends as soon as possible, he would not have the opportunity to continue to use shadow magic to sing.

Especially when David and Laura returned to Everwinter with the bodies of the Iron Warrior and Dutch, and learned that the whole town had a nightmare last night, he knew that his career (as a bard) had indeed come to an end.

Speaking of which, I had an idea for a protagonist who was a bard…
