After the man's expression relaxed, he breathed a sigh of relief, held the sword in one hand, and put down the sword that was slightly raised.
There seemed to be something wrong with his left hand that wasn't holding the sword. It was just placed on the left side of his waist, and he didn't hold the two-handed sword that required both hands to use smoothly.
His action of putting down the sword proved that he wasn't a person with bad intentions.
He was more like a person in urgent need of help, a victim, not a perpetrator.
"Thank you, God of Light, for letting me meet a living person."
The man said, "But it also makes me a little worried … A girl shouldn't appear in this forest, it's too dangerous."
Lulunaka bowed slightly to the man. "Thank you for your concern, sir.
But I'm not alone. "Lulunaka pointed to the bonfire where Julius and the others were," My companions are over there.
Although there are few of us, they are all trustworthy people. "
The man looked over there, and his gaze made Olga and the others have an obvious reaction.
Julius and Romuona couldn't hide the nervousness on their faces, and they were also a little scared.
Olga and Padding, although they weren't so exaggerated, they still seemed to be on guard against his appearance.
Their vigilance, the man could understand, after all, an uninvited guest appearing in the middle of the night, it wasn't surprising that they would be on guard.
The man was just wondering why these people didn't sit with the girl in front of him.
"You didn't sit with them, why?" The man asked curiously.
Lulunaka replied, "Someone has to watch the bonfire, otherwise it would be meaningless.
When we need someone to be on guard, there will always be someone guarding the bonfire. "
Speaking of this, Lulunaka continued, "By the way, please don't mind that they are a little too vigilant.
Among the four people, one of them is my employee, and the other three are people I met on the road.
It seems that because of something, the three of them are very vigilant against the appearance of strangers. "
Lulunaka first pointed to Padding, indicating that he was her employee, then pointed to Olga, Julius, and Romuona, indicating that they were three people who wouldn't be too friendly to strangers.
The man could understand, because the appearance of a stranger like him, especially in the middle of the night, would always lead to some bad guesses.
And now he was very down and out, it looked like he was entangled by something bad, and perhaps it would bring bad luck to them.
Because of this, the man couldn't understand why Lulunaka was so friendly.
"You're quite brave, girl."
Hearing the man's words, and laughed, "A craftsman like me, when I'm out, I'm out's business.
One couldn't be too timid when doing business. Otherwise, no business would come knocking.
Work has no legs. It won't come to you on its own. "
The man looked at Lulunaka and was a little curious, "Are you a merchant?"
He was a little surprised. Although there were no female merchants, it was the first time he saw a merchant at such a young age.
Lulunaka shook her head, "There's a difference. I'm not a merchant, I'm an alchemist. But it doesn't seem to be much of a difference, we're all trading goods.
It's just that my goods are all made by me, and I don't buy them from anywhere. "
The man was a little surprised, and looked up and down at Lulunaka, "You're an alchemist?"
He knew what kind of profession an alchemist was, but he couldn't imagine that such a young girl in front of him was actually an alchemist.
This wasn't a decent job, not to mention that it was dirty and tiring, and it was accompanied by danger. As far as the man understood, most of the time, a failed alchemy was accompanied by an explosion.
Such a weak girl in front of him, was she really competent for this job?
Lulunaka naturally saw the suspicious look on the man's face, "I'm just a beginner alchemist. I should continue to help my grandmother, but she's gone, so I can only work alone and learn at the same time.
I hope you don't mind. "
The man naturally wouldn't mind, he was just a little curious, and he wasn't this girl's guest.
Compared to the girl's identity and profession, he had more important things to care about. But he was tired and thirsty now, and he couldn't walk anymore, so he came to this place with the fire, hoping to find a safe place to rest for a while.
He didn't know where he was now, but he desperately ran to the south, in the direction of the King's Castle, and fled here. In the process of running, he confirmed that he was not in any danger, then he dared to stop and approached Lulunaka.
Lulunaka pointed to the campfire and said to the man, "Compared to standing and talking, I think it's easier to sit down.
You really do need to rest, mister. "
Lulunaka was very polite, and the man had a good first impression of this girl who was a few rounds younger than him. It was just that she was a little too bold to invite a fully armed stranger to sit with her.
To the man, Lulunaka's invitation was more than he could ask for, so he sat down with Lulunaka.
After the two sat down, they briefly introduced themselves.
Lulunaka learned that the man's name was Tuis, and that he was a soldier. But other than that, Tuis didn't say anything else.
He didn't have a surname, nor did he have a military name. Even the insignia on his armor was half scratched off, so it was impossible to see it clearly.
Tuis sat by the campfire with his sword by his side, facing the fire. The warm light from the fire seemed to ease his expression, but he was still frowning.
"I'm sorry, Lulunaka, but I can't tell you anything else … It's not something worth telling others, and it might even bring you death."
Tuis then said to Lulunaka in a serious tone, "But there's something you need to know. Don't go to the North. There was a battle a few days ago, and although it's over, the shockwaves are still spreading out … Not all the soldiers who fled are as nice as me."
Lulunaka didn't pursue the matter. Instead, she cooperated with Tuis and changed the topic. "Fled? Your battle ended, and did you lose?"
Tuis revealed a bitter smile. Lulunaka was very straightforward, but it was the truth. "Yes, we lost, and we suffered a crushing defeat because of …" Tuis shook his head. "I've said too much. You don't need to know these things."
"If you don't want to talk about it, then don't." Lulunaka smiled. "It must be some bad memories."
