The first snow of winter was not too heavy, and the entire forest was covered in white, which looked exceptionally beautiful under the sunlight. Fang Zheng leaned against the car door, looking at the scenery outside, and yawned as the car shook constantly.
Although Clark prepared the best carriage in Sweetwater Town for Fang Zheng, it was only a small place after all. It was said that this carriage was used by the mayor of Sweetwater Town for generations. If nothing else, at least the sense of history came up. And the swaying carriage could indeed be seen... well, it was good enough that it didn't fall apart.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng glanced at the girl sitting next to him. She looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, with golden curly hair and fair skin, she looked as cute as a doll. At this moment, the girl was holding her hands tightly on her chest, praying devoutly in the morning. She said she wanted to pray for those who died in the war, hoping that their souls could rest in peace forever.
After a while, the girl let out a long sigh, then she opened her eyes and looked at Fang Zheng embarrassedly.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Fang Zheng...did I bother you?"
"No, Miss Fina."
Hearing the girl's question, Fang Zheng smiled and shook his head. He had introduced himself to her yesterday. The girl's name was Fina Karsti Natley, and she was a trainee priest who was touring everywhere. The so-called touring was actually what Fang Zheng had thought of as "going to the countryside", but the treatment of priests was much better than that of trainee knights. After all, priests themselves were not a profession that focused on combat, so trainee priests like Fina did not need to follow Shi Dong around to fight against cultists or undead like Fang Zheng did. On the contrary, every time they arrived at a place, they would stop at the local temple and do some work within their ability. For example, helping to prepare some medicines, or treating some patients.
But for this girl, her cruise was a little too exciting.
"You don't look very happy, is there something bothering you?"
Perhaps because he was bored, Fang Zheng also asked curiously. He had noticed that since Fina woke up, she had been a little listless, as if she was worried about something.
"If you don't mind, why don't you tell me?"
"No, it's actually not a big deal..."
Facing Fang Zheng's question, Fina gave a bitter smile, then she sighed helplessly.
"I just feel... that I am too stupid..."
"fool?"
It must be said that this answer was beyond Fang Zheng's expectations. He originally thought that the priestess was still mourning for the victims, but he didn't understand why she brought up this topic.
"Um……"
But at this time, Fina shrank her body and lowered her head deeply.
"Was what I did yesterday stupid? If I could be like you, Mr. Fang Zheng, then I wouldn't have let those soldiers suffer so much. And... in the previous battle, if I could think more, I might have been able to save more people..."
"Well……"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng was stunned for a moment. Although Fina didn't explain it clearly, he guessed why this young lady was in a bad mood. If Fang Zheng guessed correctly, this young lady had a problem that all rookie priests like to have the most - obsessive-compulsive disorder!
I guess she is the type who won't change targets until their health is full.
"You...always do that?"
"Um……"
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Fina lowered her head even more, feeling that if there was a pit here, she would definitely bury herself in it.
"Because I couldn't bear to see them suffer. Every time I saw the look in the eyes of the wounded, I couldn't help but want to cure them completely..."
Girl, are you a Libra? This is definitely obsessive compulsive disorder.
"Don't be so disappointed. How should I put it... a lot of newbies make this mistake. It's normal."
Fang Zheng didn't know what to say, so he could only comfort her helplessly. He didn't notice that when he said the words "newcomer", Fina's face changed, and then she raised her head and looked at Fang Zheng in surprise.
"Is this true, Mr. Founder?"
"More or less...at least I've seen quite a few."
Well, he had indeed seen many such full-blooded obsessive-compulsive nannies in games, but this was the first time he had seen one in real life.
“I see…”
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Fina's expression was a bit complicated, she seemed a bit disappointed, but also seemed a bit relieved, but also a bit sad. But soon, she shivered suddenly, and then sneezed a little.
“A-choo!”
"Is it cold?"
Seeing the girl rubbing her pale hands, Fang Zheng was also stunned. It must be said that although this carriage saved the two of them from the pain of a long journey, the carriage itself was too old and the door cracks were leaking air everywhere. Fang Zheng didn't care. With his current physique transformed by the Zerg, he would not be afraid of freezing to death if thrown into space. But the girl was obviously unable to hold on, so Fang Zheng took off his coat without saying a word and covered the girl with it.
"How can this be so embarrassing...Mr. Fang Zheng..."
Noticing Fang Zheng's actions, Fina hurriedly and awkwardly shook her hands in an attempt to refuse, but Fang Zheng obviously didn't care about such trivial matters.
"It doesn't matter. I'm not cold anyway, so it doesn't matter whether I wear it or not. On the contrary, Miss Fina, you fainted yesterday due to excessive fatigue. It's better not to be stubborn now. It will be troublesome if you get sick."
“Woo…”
Facing Fang Zheng's answer, Fina puffed up her cheeks in obvious dissatisfaction, but she had no way to refute it. After all, it was an objective fact that the carriage was extremely cold, and she did faint yesterday, so her body was indeed much weaker than usual. After taking a look at Fang Zheng and making sure that he did not have any special intentions towards her like the people she had met before, Fina gritted her teeth and finally reached out to take the coat that Fang Zheng handed over.
"Excuse me, please allow me to borrow it."
Fina took the coat that Fang Zheng handed over and put it on. Then, her eyes widened in surprise.
Because not long after putting on the coat, Fina discovered that her body, which had originally felt cold, was gradually warming up?
This isn't magic equipment?
There are many magical equipments on this continent, and basically anyone in the middle class can afford some. Of course, those are the most basic, such as crystal lamps, magic heaters and other daily necessities for lighting and heating. And those magical costumes, props, equipment and weapons are exclusively for the bourgeoisie.
The reason is simple - it’s too expensive.
To give an example, in the world where Fang Zheng lives, most families have access to electricity and natural gas, but they cannot afford more expensive electronic products. Even a magical garment etched with a temperature-regulating array can only be afforded by the nobles. For ordinary people, it is a sky-high price.
If it was a magic garment, Fina would not be surprised. There were many noble descendants from various families in the temple, and she had seen many similar things. But the problem was that Fina did not detect any magical fluctuations on this simple coat, and there was no magic circle rune on it. No matter how you look at it, it was just an ordinary coat.
Looking at Fina's surprised expression, Fang Zheng smiled slightly and then leaned back in his chair.
What he was wearing now was certainly not the clothes he wore when he traveled through time to "Edge of Tomorrow". That set of clothes was dirty and torn. Moreover, after Fang Zheng reshaped his body, he could not wear that set of clothes because of the height difference between him and the original owner. So Fang Zheng threw it away.
In fact, the clothes Fang Zheng is wearing right now are specially customized clothes for him in the world of "Edge of Tomorrow".
Although the civilization of that world was beaten like a dog by aliens, in terms of technological development, it was still higher than the world Fang Zheng lived in before his rebirth. So it was nothing special to find a clothing store there and customize a set of clothes from head to toe. Not to mention that these clothes were made of lightweight nanomaterials, which not only had a certain degree of physical protection, but also had strong toughness, and were waterproof, fireproof, and warm. Of course, such a set of clothes was not cheap, and Fang Zheng spent a lot of money on it.
What? You asked where Fang Zheng got the money?
Hahaha, of course it couldn't be robbed or stolen. Why would Fang Zheng do such a thing? He just opened the warehouse of the BNP Paribas Bank and took a small reward.
You see, in RPG games, isn't entering an NPC's house and opening a box a basic operation for a hero?
“Squeak—”
Just as Fang Zheng was looking at Fina in front of him and was about to say something, the carriage suddenly stopped slowly, and then a voice came from outside.
"Sir, Miss Priest, something seems to be wrong ahead."
