Name:Hermit Author:
Somewhere on a lonely island outside the Storm Ocean.

The island's topography was very strange. There were towering peaks surrounded by a huge circular deep lake. The lake's surface was connected to the ocean through the only curved valley. The wind outside was still strong, but there were only ripples inside.

The stormy sea was a rare quiet land, but no one occupied it. This was because it was an extremely famous cursed land on the outskirts of the stormy sea.

Every pirate who stayed in this place or even established their own business would die within a few years for various reasons. There was no exception, as time passed by, everyone knew the strangeness of this place. Other than the mercenaries who had to stay here for one or two days and nights to escape the storm, no one was willing to stay here.

Today, bubbles suddenly appeared on the surface of the peaceful lake. Not long later, the two of them appeared in the water together!

Damn it," Rincewind cursed after taking a deep breath of fresh air. "He didn't die in the jungle or on the altar, but he almost suffocated to death with a mouthful of salt water!" He looked at Lilisse with a shocked and confused expression and said, "Get ashore first, this really isn't a good place to talk. I hate the sea!

Fortunately, they were not too far away from the shore. After a while, the two of them had already built a simple shack in a small forest on the shore, and had also built a bonfire. As the fire continued to burn, Linke told Lilisse about their encounter on the empty island, and he told her almost everything except the details of the inheritance.

Lilisse received the message dumbstruck, and then silently extended her hand towards Link.

Linke "..."

After Rinkey handed over the dagger called "Bloodlust" to Lily, Lilisse no longer paid attention to him. She held the dagger and constantly gestured in the air, and after seeing Lilisse break a bowl-sized tree into two halves without using any energy, and the broken area quickly becoming black and even the stumps becoming sluggish, Lin Ke immediately decided that it was better for him to stay away from this girl and check the environment outside.

He patted the big black horse's neck to let it stay where it was, then climbed up a mountain to see its entire appearance. Only then did he let out a sigh.

The wind blew incessantly from the top of the mountain, but Lin Ke did not feel uncomfortable at all. He carefully walked in several other directions before finishing his judgement. There really were no humans or other intelligent beings occupying this island!

With another random flick of his wind blade, he harvested a fawn that was still in a daze when it was very close to him. After that, Lin Ke used all of his strength to carry it back to the temporary shelter he and Lilisse had built, while Lilisse was still fiddling with that dagger!

Lin Ke could only rely on his memories of cooking in his previous life to try to handle the fawn. He wanted to turn it into a lunch to satisfy his hunger. He was really hungry, but he was so flustered that he was sweating profusely and could not even skin it clean.

Fortunately, Lily was satisfied and stopped her experiments. It was obvious that she was very satisfied with them.

Then, Linke was relieved. With an appreciative gaze, he watched the silent Lilith mop up the remaining skin and organs of the fawn, cut the meat into even strips, and put them on a small wooden signature made at the scene. Then, as if by magic, he fished out a bottle of seasoning from somewhere behind his waist, opened it after checking that the bottle's seal was intact, and sprinkled a thin layer of the meat over the fire for a barbecue.

The only thing that left Lin Ke speechless was that the big dark horse actually didn't eat the grass and switched to meat. It itself ate the remaining half of the deer completely without even spitting out its bones!

He wiped his mouth and lied on the ground without any regard for his appearance, not caring about his back that was hurting from the fine pebbles. He then saw the pure white skin of Lilisse's black tight clothes, which were already showing through the cracks, all over the place, and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

After rummaging through the ring for a long time, he finally found a black tight-fitting clothes. However, this tight-fitting clothes had a strange material that he didn't know the name of, its tentacles were smooth, soft, yet extremely tough and elastic, and there were also circles of strange magic prints in them. It was just that Lin Ke's final 'purge' was too hasty, the bald man didn't even have time to explain to him the effects of these treasures, he only had the time to remember the name 'Shadowless', it was an extremely suitable treasure for Lilisse.

"They really robbed the treasury?" Lilisse hesitated for a moment, but still took the black tights from Link. As soon as she came into contact with it, she couldn't bear to part with it. However, she looked at him in embarrassment, "You really gave it to me?"

"Of course," Lin Ke gently looked at her, "I really looted a treasure vault. Oh, right," he took off a ring from his left little finger that looked very much like the one from Earth, and handed it to Lilisse, "The interspatial ring! It was as big as two cubic meters! I'll also give it to you! "

"No, no, no," Lily was a little flustered this time and she shyly waved her hand, turning her head away, "Too precious, no, too precious." She once heard from Link that her grandfather, the Rhine Family Head, also only had a one-cubic meter large spatial ring, and that it was already an incredible treasure.

"It doesn't matter," Lin Ke chuckled, reaching out and grabbing Lily's slender white left hand, ignoring the latter's blushing red face and gently struggling arm, after hesitating for a moment, he put it on her middle finger, then lifted up his hand that had nine rings on, showing off proudly, "Do you see it, do you look like a nouveau riche?"

"What is a nouveau riche?" Lilisse looked at him curiously.

Linke "..."

The sun had set, but the sky was still bright.

The small island that was gradually turning chilly was now quiet.

Perhaps it was due to the repeated gifts from Link that Lilisse no longer talked too little when facing him. She had built up a more or less effective communication environment, and now, she had a smile on her face.

After all, having experienced life and death together, they now had many secrets from each other.

"What?" You are actually the leader of the largest gang of commoners in the city?! " Lin Ke's face was filled with astonishment, but he managed to force out an extremely strange smile. He said somewhat embarrassedly, "I was robbed by someone during the test."

Lilisse looked away, her face a little red. "I'll make them return it to you, the magic staff …" A magical staff is not something that can be easily used. "

Lin Ke was speechless, "Is this the reason why you are able to train to the fourth stage of Xiong Li? It's really amazing, really! "

Lilisse didn't show the slightest trace of pride or sadness. "They're all orphans on the street, there's no need to intentionally gather them. The poor children just naturally gathered together to survive …" "We can only do some petty theft, you …" She timidly glanced at Lin Ke. She thought that he would probably look down on her. He was a descendant of a noble family, so her eyes were dim.

"It doesn't matter," Lin Ke sat down next to Lilisse, his voice gentle. "I can understand how difficult it is for those orphans to survive in this human-eating world, and I can also imagine how much discrimination they have to suffer in order to live in such an environment. The commoners have to spend ten or a hundred times the effort on what they can get, while those children who can't rely on anyone else in the lowest ranks of the commoners have to pay a thousand times the price." He revealed a kind smile to Lilisse, "They are very lucky, because they met your elder sister when they were young.

Lilisse looked at the resolute side of Link's face in a daze. She had long known that he wasn't as loathsome as the other nobles, but she had never known that there would be a moment when he would be as charming as this.

She blushed again, ashamed of her own thoughts.

Fortunately, Link didn't notice his abnormality.

A large stone was lifted from her heart, but she was also slightly disappointed.

"How are we going to get back to the mainland?" Lilith was surprised that she had learned to change the subject. She glanced at Rinkey, blaming him.

"That's right, how do we go back?" Lin Ke threw a piece of firewood into the bonfire with some distress. "I can't possibly be like Robinson and get a raft to really cross the ocean, let alone this damned stormy ocean. I hate the sea."

Lilith did not quite understand, "Who is Robinson?"

Lin Ke could only stutter as he concocted a lie, "A powerful noble who had his merchant ship destroyed by a storm and had to live on a deserted island."

Lilisse nodded seriously and said, "That's kind of similar to our current situation, isn't it?" You mean he built a wooden boat and went back to the mainland through the Storm Ocean? "

Lin Ke's forehead was covered in cold sweat. "Yes …" Is that right? "

Lilisse shot a strange look at Link, "That must be a master caster of at least the dragon power realm, and also a water mage, right?" Or ice? Otherwise, how can we rely on a wooden boat built by ourselves to go through the periphery of the Storm Ocean?

"That's right, that's right. Dragon-Force Realm Water Mage, you can even guess that," Lin Ke helplessly agreed, before hastily changing the topic. "Aiya, we don't have that kind of strength, so let's think of another way …"

Lilisse nodded and looked at the gradually darkening sky, "Let's go to the top of the mountain again tomorrow, if there is a merchant ship passing by, we will light a fire to attract them and send them back to the mainland."

"What if we attract pirate ships?" Linke wasn't sure.

"Then let's fight to the death!" Lilisse said without a care.

Linke "..."

— —

For ten days in a row, neither of them saw a boat pass by.

Lin Ke was a little disappointed. "There are only eight more days until the day of the duel. If we don't return, the quota will be taken for nothing, that bastard from the Fei Li Clan."

Lilith whispered, "Maybe the Rhine Family found out that it was the work of the Fei Li Family, and they already destroyed it."

"Hahaha," Lin Ke laughed and patted Lily on her head. Lilisse did not dodge, he found her black hair to be very soft, "It is indeed very comfortable to think like this, but it is probably impossible. With so many people sent by the Fei Li Family, there are two of them who are at a higher level of Giant Strength, so there won't be any obvious traces left behind for grandfather to catch. Even if Neil and Daisy managed to escape, it would not be able to provide the family with any clear clues. "It's too far."

"Neil and Daisy should be getting out by now... "I wonder how Xue'er is doing now …"

Lin Ke looked at the distant night sky, and saw countless stars.

He thought, if only there was a meteor streaking across the land, he would have made a wish in time for a large ship to appear in front of him and take him back to the mainland. He thought, sleeping soundly, sleeping quietly beside him.

A meteor streaked across the night sky.
