Guild Boss's Ambition

The voice of the black-haired girl sounded clearly, and a slender and straight figure appeared in my field of vision. She bravely opened her arms, stood in front of the burning flames, and used her body as my shield.

"Idiot, what is she doing?"

"Run away!"

I was confused and terrified. I could regard my life as Ji land, which was just a negative asset anyway. But the little girl in front of me was still young. She had only been in this world for a short time. How could she die here with me today?

"Ahhhh!!!"

I roared, roaring with every last bit of strength in my body...

Finally, I propped my hands on the battle axe and stood up again shakily...

"I can still fight..."

I tried to convince myself so, but my body was honest.

I fell down again, straight forward, with my mouth full of spring mud and crawling ants.

Whoosh!

I don't know if it was my ridiculous dying struggle that successfully pleased the tiger, or if the little girl's shouting worked, but the Fiery Tiger actually stopped casting the Fiery Roar spell and only spit the small fireball that had been brewing at the beginning into the sky, but did not give the loser the final blow. For the time being, I did not feel much about this unreasonable situation, because the huge amount of blood loss and pain had almost made me faint, but the sense of crisis of death forced me to keep my eyes open──

Then, for the first time, I saw her face clearly.

Although the black-haired girl's face has not fully grown yet, the beginnings of her beauty can be seen. At first glance, she is the kind of person who is very suitable to be married home as a wife. However, the girl's scarlet eyes have a hint of unique temperament. I don't know what treasure is hidden in those eyes, but at this moment, I at least find a knight-like courage in them!

She is very special.

5. The newbie is me (Ulu)

(Ulu) - The first person pronouns are in brackets

The brave female knight was seriously injured and fell to the ground.

I looked at the flames in the tiger's mouth from behind and swallowed hard.

If I were to die from this flame, then the female knight in front of me would not be just a bunch of game data; on the contrary, if I were to be reborn from death like in the online games of the past, then I would most likely be in a game with an error, and the female knight would be a very real artificial intelligence...

After weighing the pros and cons, I suppressed my fear and rushed forward, standing between the Fiery Tiger and the female knight. Of course, I didn't think that my small body, which was rated by the system as being unable to defeat even goblins, could block this powerful giant fireball in front of me. At the same time, I was not sure whether this tiger, which was red-eyed with fighting, would stop attacking for me...

But everything must be tried. I really can't just watch this female knight die protecting me.

"I hope this is just a game."

I tried to be a hero with a lucky mentality.

"Buck! Stop!" I opened my arms and shouted at the Fiery Tiger in front of me.

Ever since the female knight and the Fiery Tiger started fighting, three more blood bars have appeared in my field of vision, representing the health points of the three of us. Under the continuous attacks from the female knight just now, only one-fifth of the blood volume on the head of the Fiery Tiger Buck was left. However, compared to the female knight who was already in a dying state, the Fiery Tiger was simply invincible at this time.

"Ahhhh──"

Somehow, the first person to react to my action was not Fiery Tiger Buck, but the wounded female knight. She supported her battle axe and stood up firmly. Under her health bar was a whole row of debuffs caused by her being in a dying state. If this was really a game based on data, I think she would fall down again soon...

Pfft!

Half a second later, she did fall down again.

Well, it's a little funny and a little sensational.

But now is obviously not the time to think about these things.

I turned to look at the Fiery Tiger Buck, only to see it spit the flames from its mouth into the air. It looked like it had decided to let the female knight and I go. However, I was surprised by this possibility which had not yet been fully confirmed.

"It shouldn't have spared us."

Looking at this Fiery Tiger with broken teeth and bleeding from the battle, I really can't find any reason to forgive it. If I had further prevented the battle from happening just now, perhaps this matter would not have turned out to this point?

Gulu

The Fiery Tiger let out a low growl, dragged its injured body, and slowly turned around. At this moment, I truly realized its giving up and forgiveness, and in my heart I felt a sense of injustice for it. As a winner, it should have the right to receive rewards, but now it is covered in scars and can get nothing back. This... is not the law of nature.

"Buck! Wait!"

I called out again, and the Fiery Tiger Buck stopped and left.

I don’t know if my subconscious still thought I was in a virtual game. For a moment, I seemed to forget that Buck in front of me was a ferocious feline. I walked over boldly, then silently opened the prop bar and took out a red potion bottle from the space ring bound to the little finger of my right hand - a special healing potion for novices.

[Newbie special effect water treatment: immediately restore 80% of the target's lost health and remove all negative states. ]

When I was figuring out how to log out, I found a total of three bottles of such potions in the system's item column. Apart from these three bottles of potions, my space ring only had a parchment scroll lying alone, which I had not had time to take a closer look at. In addition, I seemed to have five gold coins in assets, but since there was no actual value of the goods to compare, I had no way of estimating the value of those five gold coins.

When the Fiery Tiger saw the medicine bottle in my hand, its two tiger pupils seemed to reveal a look of vigilance. Seeing this, I immediately panicked and hurriedly explained: "Well, this is a potion for replenishing physical strength. Please let me treat you, okay?"

The Fiery Tiger seemed to understand human language. After hearing my explanation, it showed me its injured back and used its eyes to signal me that I could start treatment, but...

"How do you use this blood bottle for beginners?"

Under the gaze of Lieyanhu, I forced a gentle smile and looked at the blood bottle in my hand for a long time without moving.

After a while, perhaps because he was tired of waiting, or because he was in pain, Buck, who had been sitting quietly just now, suddenly stood up on all fours, opened his mouth wide and let out a huge roar at me, the indecisive idiot!

I was immediately startled by it, thinking that it was suddenly attacking me. Driven by the instinct of self-protection, I was stupid enough to use the medicine bottle in my hand as a throwing weapon and threw it into the tiger's mouth.

Ping pong!

Seeing the glass medicine bottle flying towards it quickly, the Lieyan Tiger bit it to pieces in one bite. At the same time, a number appeared on its head.

"HP-1?"

Looking up at this blood-red number, I had a very bad feeling in my heart.

System: Warning! You attacked the Flame Tiger Buck and entered combat mode!

"You're asking for trouble."

Hearing the friendly reminder from the system lady, I almost turned around and ran away, but my legs suddenly became completely out of control, and I fell to the ground in a cowardly M-shaped posture. At this time, the attacked Fiery Tiger licked its bloody mouth bloodthirstily, took heavy steps, slowly walked over to me, and lowered its huge head towards me──

“I’m really going to be eaten this time!”

I closed my eyes tightly in extreme fear, and then I heard Miss System's almost mocking electronic voice again.

System: You have gained the gratitude of Fiery Tiger Buck, and your friendship level with him has increased by +10, thus establishing a [Friend] relationship.

System: You are given the title of Friend of the Cat Tribe, and your friendship with cats increases by +10.

Well, actually, I don’t need Miss System’s prompt. Even with my eyes closed, I can fully understand the fact that I have not been eaten by the other party. If being licked on the face by a cute cat is a blessing, then being licked on the clothes by a ferocious tiger can be said to be a blessing from my ancestors. However, no matter what, seeing that the health value on the top of the Fiery Tiger’s head has recovered to about 90%, and the wounds on its body have almost recovered, I can’t help but feel happy for it...

"No, I feel like I've forgotten something?"

I resisted the attack of the big tongue, tilted my head, and gradually, I finally remembered what I had forgotten.

"Oh! Lady Knight!"

Startled, I hurriedly pushed away the huge tiger head that was so close to me, turned around and ran to the female knight behind me. It turned out that while I was having a cordial communication with the tiger, the female knight here was already dying. After seeing me finally walk up to her, she could no longer bear the serious injuries on her body, closed her eyes, and completely fainted.

"Oh, beautiful lady, don't die! You still have to lead me out of the forest!"

My heart was calling out loudly, and I took out another bottle of novice potion from the prop library as quickly as possible. After the experiment on the Fiery Tiger just now, I roughly estimated that this bottle of potion should be taken internally. So, I bent down, pried open the female knight's soft little mouth with one hand, and poured all the red potion into the female knight's stomach in one breath with the other hand.

Fortunately, my inference was not wrong.

After drinking the potion, the wounds on the female knight's body recovered rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Seeing the fresh granulations of flesh growing again on the burned and festering wounds, I did not feel disgusted, but instead developed a strong interest.

"If this isn't a virtual game, then this is incredible."

In my heart, I sincerely admired the wonder of magic. However, as the effect of the potion became apparent, the skin on the female knight's body that was beginning to recover slowly burned my cheeks red. The outline of the hill became clearer and clearer. No matter how curious I was, my sense of morality forced me to turn around. Even if I accidentally created a female character, I couldn't take advantage of others.

Or maybe it is because he is a man with a woman's body and a heart that he should not take advantage of her!

6. I am so poor that I want to die (Ehard)

(Female Knight, Meng Er-Ehard)

During the battle with the Fiery Tiger, I fell into a coma.

When I realized that I was unconscious, I suddenly opened my eyes in shock. Fortunately, it was not too bad. The scene I saw was neither hell nor heaven, and it did not seem to be any other world after death. It was just a beautiful and poetic starry sky.

"I'm not dead yet."

Without any ecstasy or lingering fear, I muttered to myself, stating this lucky fact to myself.

Death is a relief, while being alive makes me suffer more. But as long as I survive, I will try my best to take the next step towards my ideal, step by step, walking endlessly in the void.

In the past two years, the inheritance from my ancestors has almost driven me crazy!

But I still have to persevere.

"Are you awake?"

A gentle and peaceful voice floated into my ears, reminding me of everything that happened during the battle with the Fiery Tiger.

At this point, my body is no longer suffering from the excruciating pain of the burns, and the ugly wounds that should have festered have completely healed. The white and smooth skin that has grown back is comparable to that of a baby, and there is a sharp contrast in skin color between my right and left halves, as if I were running out into the sun wearing only the left half of my clothes.

"Well, I'm fine now, thank you." I sat up next to the tree trunk and walked towards the direction of the voice to thank him.

As it was still dark and there was no fire, I did not see the pretty face I expected clearly. But as long as I thought of the little girl beside me, I could not help but feel a pain in my forehead. It seemed that the medicine that could instantly heal serious injuries must be very expensive, and I, who was poorer than anyone else, would definitely not be able to give the other party full compensation...

"Well, it's okay."

In the darkness, the other side only responded softly. The sound was like a summer wind chime, which made people feel cool. However, it was also like a small piece of fat bait, which attracted me, the fish, and aroused my curiosity.

Even though my memory is very vague, I still remember how the little girl resolved the crisis.

"Little girl, are you a druid?"

Recalling the little girl's behavior of stopping the tiger, I immediately had such an association in my mind. When it comes to communicating with monsters as a human, that is the specialty of the druids. However, I was clearly fighting with the Fiery Tiger to the death, so why did the tiger still accept the little girl's persuasion? Did she use the skill of enslaving monsters?

"Commanding a gold-rank monster? Oh, what an incredible and terrifying ability that is!"

Just as I was extremely surprised by my own association, the little girl sitting in the dark fell silent. After a long while, she replied in a defensive tone: "Generally speaking, before inquiring into other people's personal privacy, shouldn't you first explain your identity? So, may I ask what your name is..."

I was stunned by the question and felt a little rude. In order to avoid further suspicion from the other party, I quickly revealed my identity: "My name is Meng'er-Ehard. I used to be a high-level knight in the royal city. Now I live in Mopolis City. I am the guild leader of the Adventurer's Guild - [Stone House]. I just completed a hunting mission and passed by this place on my way back to the city."

I signed up, but the little girl fell into another level of silence. She didn't say anything at all. I didn't know if she was thinking about some complicated philosophical questions, or if she simply didn't want to pay attention to a stranger like me?

After about five minutes, she still didn't say anything, and I lost my patience.

"Can I make a fire? In the night in the Panlong Forest, we need fire to drive away poisonous insects and beasts──"

My words were more like an announcement than a consultation. The Fiery Tiger I encountered during the day dealt a heavy blow to me. At this point I was temporarily unwilling to pick up the axe and fight again. I knew I needed time to adjust to the loss of defeat, and even more time to relieve the pressure from the stone house. Both loss and pressure could cause me to make fatal mistakes.

I want to take a good rest and let the firelight warm my body and mind.

I lowered my head in the dark, picked up some firewood from everywhere, and piled them into a circle. Then I found that the fire crystal that I usually wore around my neck had been lost in the battle during the day. This little discovery made me panic, and I hurriedly touched my left thumb, and finally I felt relieved and touched a cold ring, a space ring that stored all my wealth!

"If I lose it, I'd really rather die..."

I smiled bitterly to myself and took out a new fire crystal from the space ring. Using the element crystal, almost all humans can use the first-level elemental magic through specific methods. Of course, a battle axe fighter like me who doesn't usually train his mental strength can only spray out a small fireball from the palm of my hand that is just enough to ignite the firewood.

With a pop, the fire lit up, and the silent little girl spoke.

"Hello, my name is Ulu-Lannon."

Hearing the little girl's voice, I instinctively turned around. At that moment, because of the bonfire, I finally saw her pretty face again. At this moment, the little girl's face was red. She raised her right arm, tremblingly pointed at my chest, and shyly shouted: "Ms. Ehard, you are exposed!"

Huh? She's gone?

I looked down at my breasts that were exposed because of the burnt clothes, and then looked up at the poor little girl's body. Somehow, I felt a surge of pride for no reason. I put my hands under my chest, and supported my pair of natural assets as if to show off, and said with a smile: "We are all girls anyway, it doesn't matter!"

But my casualness did not seem to be recognized by Miss Lannong. The little girl looked away hurriedly as if she saw something dirty, and then, like a frightened hamster, she hid behind a huge tree trunk and hid her figure.

"Where is this young lady from? Is she that innocent?"

I couldn't help but chuckle, but if we couldn't have a proper face-to-face communication, it would be very troublesome. Therefore, I opened the space ring again, took out a dark stalker cloak from it, and used it to wrap my exposed body tightly. To be honest, the weather was chilly at night. If I only wore the half-remaining rags to sleep, if I was unlucky, I would probably have to pay a huge medical bill...

"Okay, I'm dressed now, you don't have to hide anymore!"

After putting on the cloak, I shouted in the direction where the little girl was hiding. I felt very cute about this little animal that would become shy even when seeing the body of the same sex. After hearing my shout, the little girl named Lannong carefully poked out her little head. In the light of the campfire, her delicate little face looked more lovely. Even if there was no danger like the Fiery Tiger nearby, people could not help but have a subtle desire to protect her.

"You haven't answered my original question yet. Are you a druid?"

Even though she looked cute, as an adventurer, I was still wary of strangers who appeared during a mission. Moreover, this little girl from Lannong could actually take out two bottles of such valuable items as healing potions at once. Her identity was therefore extremely intriguing.

When she heard my question, the little girl did not answer immediately. Instead, she slowly walked to the side of the campfire and sat on a flat stone like me. She asked, "Can I trust you?"
