Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#673 - Children of the Forest

"Long time no see, everyone~"

"Long time no see~ Elizabeth."

"Calculating the time, it's indeed about time for you to come back."

"I heard you're all preparing to go to university?"

"Mm-hmm~ What else would we be doing?"

"We've all been recruited by Liang Yue now, and he's even given us very high personal benefits. Compared to other people our age, we're very lucky, and we really should enrich ourselves."

"That's what I think too. What about you?"

"Compared to going to school, I have some more important things to do."

"Are you guys already planning to get married?"

"Not yet~ Huh, what's wrong, Gwen? You look a little listless."

"Sigh~ Don't even mention it. My dad already found out that I didn't come home last night. I snuck back into my room this morning, and he caught me red-handed."

"Ouch~ That's unfortunate."

"Once, I was almost caught by my aunt, but luckily I managed to deal with it."

"My mom doesn't have the habit of checking rooms at night, unless there's an earthquake or something~\

,""So, from the fact that you're here now, you must have solved the problem?"

"I told my dad about me being Spider-Man. I lied to him, saying that going out at night was to do good deeds, and that I occasionally go to a secret base to train."

"Good idea, but I wouldn't mind you adding me to this story, Gwen."

"Me too~"

"If Old George asks again, just say that I organized everyone to form a team, and we occasionally have to come out for some intensive training or something."

"Mm~ Thanks, but the matter is temporarily resolved. My dad isn't that hard to talk to, especially after seeing some of my abilities.

Anyway, we're going to school in a few days. He originally planned to have me live in the school dormitory, but today during the day, he was already considering renting an apartment for me nearby."

"In that case, I'll pay the rent. We can rent a bigger place then, Gwen, Peter, and Naizi, you three can all live there. That way, it'll be easier for us to have gatherings."

"That's a great idea!"

"Then, for the remaining days of the holiday, you guys are in charge of finding a place, um~ through Xiaowu is fine too. I'll be responsible for signing the checks then."

"Looks like you have a lot of money?"

"Mm-hmm, Xiaowu got it all from the stock market during the time you weren't here. It's too much. If we don't use it, it's just a pile of waste paper."

...\n

After chatting, at everyone's encouragement and anticipation, Elizabeth dripped a drop of blood onto the Chaos Egg.

In the end, the eggshell split open, revealing a half-grown fawn!

On its light gray short fur, there were patches of pure white mysterious patterns, as if they were some kind of protective battle markings, faintly releasing a layer of faint light. The antlers on its head were crystal clear and jade-like, with a semi-transparent appearance, carrying a hint of tender verdant meaning.

According to Elizabeth herself, this was a male Child of the Forest, with an eighth-order magic beast bloodline, skilled in using various wood-based magic, and could also use healing spells.

In short, a very good partner.

It's just that its temperament seemed a bit arrogant. Don't be fooled by the fact that it's just a small magic beast cub, it always held its head high and stuck out its chin in front of everyone.

Apart from its owner, Elizabeth, it was a bit indifferent to everyone else.

However, it selectively defaulted to Yu Linglong's friendly gesture, who had a ninth-order bloodline as a Void Spirit Butterfly.

Even when Yu Linglong landed on its pair of small horns, which were like treasures, it didn't react.

In short, Elizabeth was very fond of this pet she hatched and couldn't wait to take it to level up in the dungeon.

Everyone understood this very well and sent her team invitations one after another.

In the end, Liang Yue waved his hand and made a decision for this girl.

"Let me take her to adapt first. After we clear the normal difficulty Dark dungeon and finish the job change, you can team up together.

In the meantime, you should first find a strange place in the dungeon to consolidate the team. In addition, there are actually some good skills in the Zombie Mine.

Although the growth is a bit poor, the practicality is okay."

In this way, after briefly explaining to a few partners, the two teams came to the underground dungeon hall together, and then entered the dungeon gates separately.

Liang Yue certainly couldn't stay with Elizabeth in the dungeon all the time.

At least, not in the near future. In the past few days, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Director Fury had called more than once, inviting him to join the agency.

The reason, of course, was that Loki had crossed the star field and stolen the Cosmic Cube.

In fact, not only this black egg director, but Stark also extended an invitation to him on this matter when he came to visit.

However, in the end, he temporarily blocked them all with Elizabeth's name.

After all, the fact that he had reached a spaceship rental agreement with Britain was not a secret on a certain level.

And as Liang Yue's girlfriend, who was already known to the world, and as a noblewoman with a respected status in the British royal branch, he was temporarily unable to spare time to prepare for Elizabeth's arrival.

This reason was barely plausible.

At least, Stark and the others couldn't find any fault with it.

However, Liang Yue didn't completely reject S.H.I.E.L.D.'s request, but gave a promise, saying that he would provide some assistance to them when necessary.

Now that Elizabeth had arrived, and Loki, according to Xiaowu's global exploration system, didn't seem to have any movements yet.

But according to Liang Yue's understanding of the plot, I'm afraid it won't be long before the other party takes action.

...\n

In this way, a night passed quickly.

If converted to the stronghold world, that would be more than four full days~

During this period, Liang Yue only spent about a few hours taking Elizabeth to complete the normal difficulty of the Dark 2 dungeon.

Somewhat surprisingly, Elizabeth finally chose to change her job to become a~ Druid?

And in the system-given one-time clearance lottery, she got a reward of plus three to all skills.

Afterwards, under this girl's curiosity, Liang Yue took her to the Zombie Mine for a couple of laps.

Then, from his pile of collections, he found a few skill books such as Summon Skeleton, Summon Divine Beast, Hell Lightning, Ice Roar, Magic Shield, etc., and handed them to her.

Moreover, under Liang Yue's suggestion, this girl also lit up the two skills "Gun Fighting Technique" and "Magic Gleam" in the shared skill column.

After some humming and hawing, hugging her head and rolling around, Elizabeth quickly recovered her spirits.

Full of confidence, under Liang Yue's protection, she prepared to make a big splash in the Nightmare difficulty dungeon.

As a result, after some careful response, just after wading through the Blood Moor and entering the Cold Plains, she was caught off guard and fell into an encirclement of monsters.

After taking two fireballs from Bishibosh, the magic罩 around her directly broke her defense, and her health was instantly reduced by nearly half. The girl was so frightened that her face turned pale on the spot, and she screamed for help.

And her pet, the white deer Sauron, was shot by a few cold arrows from the Cold Crow because it ran too far ahead.

Immediately, it wailed repeatedly, and limped behind the divine beast Qilin, secretly no longer showing its head, leaving only the courage to fire cannons from behind...

In short, after experiencing some realistic beatings, Elizabeth finally began to calm down and followed Liang Yue's advice, entered the Library Tower, and practiced step by step under his guidance.

Since this girl came in with skills, she was originally a member of the Earth's magic circle. Although her cultivation was not very high, she already had a certain foundation.

Under this situation, Liang Yue couldn't persuade her to abandon her magic and switch to martial arts.

After considering it again and again, he had to let Elizabeth follow the same cultivation path as Arwen, majoring in magic and supplemented by external martial arts.

At this time, the most suitable thing for her was naturally the "Dazhui Fist", which could quickly improve her own strength and control...

In the following days, under Liang Yue's teaching and with the company of Gwen, Sam, and others, this girl quickly integrated into this team.
