Lost Temple

Chapter 9

This chapter is short so i can post it faster but as usually the long paragraphs are killing me

“What are you going to do?” Sitting in a cozy tent, Falling To The Silence"s initiative speak to Black Mark is unprecedented.
“Uh?”
“It has been long enough to stay in the Mirror Forest, do you want to go out together?”
“Huh? Don"t you still have a mission?” Remember when they first met, didn"t Silence say that he had come to the Mirror Forest to find the task items?
“I want to give up.” No mushroom spores have been found. Who knows how long this mission will last.
“Huh? Wait a minute!” There"s a flash of light in Black Mark"s head, he turned around and took the backpack, then poured out a bunch of mushrooms from the inside: “See if there is any kind you want here.”
Looking at the pile of white mushrooms in front of himself, Falling To The Silence doubtfully reach out for one, suddenly a system prompt sound ringing in the ear: “Get the task item: Mushroom Spores of the Mirror Forest.”
“This… what is it?” Why didn"t he find it for so long, yet Black Mark could take that out from his backpack?
“That is… what we are eating every day ah… that is the ingredients for making the mushroom soup…” ^﹏^
This is the legendary breaking through the iron shoes, it takes no effort to get it… …
Falling To The Silence"s eyes corner twitched a bit, finally did not say anything, then took 10 mushrooms and stuffed them into his s.p.a.ce bracelet.
Black Mark and Silence walking together on the streets of the bustling town. Live in the forest for nearly two months makes them less accustomed to the bustling town, but because there are a lot of essential items to reload in the store, they have to come to the town. Black Mark wore Silence"s light armor wrapped in a Shadow Cloak with a strangely shaped mask on his face. The white mask covered the entire face of his except the mouth, there"s even a movable gear on his eyes too and when the mechanism is pressed, a piece of block will be put down to cover his eyes, replacing the effect of the original blindfolded scarf — It was Silence who took a whole day to make it for him. The reason is that Black Mark"s amber square scarf has been completely ruined with the equipment on his body in the final confrontation against the self-destructing “Mud” monster.
The whole mask was made of white oak wood and engraved with exquisite decorative patterns. It is a perfect piece of art. The same shape on Silence"s face is a black mask made of ebony. He had this mask a long time ago. Because his profession as an a.s.sa.s.sin has made him not willing to show his face in front of the people but his partners. Now he added a movable gear to his mask, replacing the blindfold effect of the amber square scarf, he made the white one for Black Mark based on his own original mask.
However, the appearance of the two persons is too outstanding, only seeing the slender and tall figure from the back has been able to give people unlimited s.p.a.ce of imagination, moreover the mask on their faces emerged the desire to find out more.
“Have you ever done the character profile adjustment?” More and more people following the crowd have already caused the veins on Falling To The Silence"s forehead burst under the mask.
“Reduced by 10%, what about you?” Black Mark sullenly replied, glaring at the female player who had “pa.s.sing by” a dozen times in front of him.
“20%” Has completely lost his patience Falling To The Silence squeezed out the word from his teeth, and then resorted the stealth skills, his figure gradually disappeared into the air.
“Hey! What should I do?” Black Mark was furious at the way the latter behaves.
“Stealth together!”
After the latter reminded, Black Mark remember his Shadow Cloak with Stealth skills, and quickly use the “Embrace the Darkness” skills, his figure also disappeared into the air.
When the blacksmith shop owner found in front of him suddenly appeared two masks, strange persons wearing a travel cloak, scared a little bit he then blurted out and shouted “there"s robber..” After Black Mark spent a lot of effort to show his intention, he threw a long bow to him, symbolically only received a silver coin he politely sent the two persons out of the store.
Looking at the longbow in his hand, Black Mark somewhat couldn"t cry or laugh, the green-rank sophisticated-quality weapons, no matter how cheap it is, it won"t be just a silver coin right? “I found that we have the potential to be a robber…”
All sort of of messy materials collected in the Mirror Forest were stuffed in a backpack, and it was too late to sell in the previous town. Falling To The Silence go to the mercenary guild in the Rubedo city to hand over the level task of collecting mushroom spores. Having the experience of being chased in the town last time, Black Mark determined not to go to a place where there are many people, so Silence let him wait in the place that they has agreed in advance. Falling To The Silence bringing him here to invited him to join their mercenary group. This fellow partner, Silence really doesn"t know what kind of person. Somewhat he had expectation towards Black Mark.
Looking up and seeing the sun just hanging in the sky, it will take some time to wait for Silence to come back, he pick up his status bar and glance at it. The satiety has dropped to sixty-five, picked up a stout tree sitting under the shade, leaning against the trunk, Black Mark took the backpack to sort out the harvest of these days, seven or eight pieces of bear meat, half a dozen of wolf steaks, a pile of mushrooms, a few kind of vegetables, taking out all kind of the hand-picked herbs and identifying them one by one, for the blood (hp), keep it; this one, for mana supplement (mp), not used for the time being; this one is for detoxification, hm… keep it first ; this one… “tranquilizer gra.s.s, make the food more delicious.” Bingo ~~~ This is it! Put the gra.s.s on the wolf steak, pull out the harp to gather the fire element, set up a small bonfire, happily sing a song, put the flavored wolf on the branch, Enjoying the outdoor BBQ.
After all these time practiced hard, Black Mark"s cooking level is already very high, BBQ is not difficult to cook and it is not take a long time too. Huff ~~ finished, divide all the food into two. Over these days he has figured out Falling to the silence"s taste. Although the guy is not picky eaters, his eating habits are as light as the vegetarian diet. Keep the meat well first, anyway he wouldn"t need to worry about the food being spoiled in the backpack or the s.p.a.ce bracelet.
When he was eager to stuff his food into his backpack, Black Mark found a very serious problem, his backpack was not big enough 一 The general system is equipped with only 20 novice backpacks. He didn"t have his own bag for jewelries. So he has to use the novice backpack all the time 一 the flowers and plants in the forest, the beautiful stones have occupied more than half of the backpack s.p.a.ce, not to mention the blood potion bottles, the blue bottles, and there are a whole lot of food he just made….. he looked at the things that were on the ground, in the end Black Mark decided to reluctantly cut off the love first* and throw away some of the things that are not needed at the moment.

(T/N: 割爱先丢掉 the chinese means ‘cut the love first", it can be means ‘to lose something")

Picking up a colorful a piece of colorful stone, an identification shot up, Cat"s Eye Stone, what is this thing? There"s no use if it for now so throw it first; second piece, smoke crystal? It have a gray color, very beautiful, reluctant to throw it away, keep it first; the third piece, malachite, throw it away… While identifying the items, he"s talking to himself, throw the unwanted stones to the gra.s.s not far away.

Cat"s Eye Stone

Smoke Crystal

Malachite

  ”Ai yo, who is throwing things? What happens if you hit someone? Even if it doesn"t hit anyone, it"s not good to hit the flowers and plants~~”
… The lines of the cla.s.sic movies he saw a few years ago sounded in his ears, and Black Mark couldn"t help but smiled. “Hi, Tang Seng Master, please go to the west*, don"t lie in the gra.s.s.”

(*Black Mark talk about the famous story Journey To The West because he called the man Tang Seng/Tang Monk)

A pointed-eared elf dressed in light armor come out of the gra.s.s with his hand held the stone that had just been thrown out by Black Mark. “Even if you find out, there"s no need to throw stones at people, right?” The elf grinned and flip it over. “Ai? Ai? You hit me with such a big malachite?? You are really generous ah!” Glanced at the stone in the hand, the elf"s eyes suddenly widened.
“Who knows what the stone is for? There is no s.p.a.ce for my backpack. I have to use it to smash people.” Not disgusted with this very sun-smelled elf. Black Mark continue to organize his own things, while half-jokingly chat with the latter.
“Ah??? Father"s Elder*, please, please continue to use it to smash me, it doesn"t matter even if i die, I am willing to!”

(T/N  大人: a t.i.ttle of respect towards superior)

Look at the latter"s touching tears, Black Mark"s head can not help but hang a few black lines, “Are you a s.a.d.i.s.t?” Is this seemingly sun-smelled elf having a problem with his head? “Just take it if you like, there are still some, I don"t use it anyway.” Don"t know if the elf have a hobby like to collect shiny stones. Isn"t that a raven"s specialty? Point at the small pile of various stones in the front with the finger, Black mark says generously.
“There still some left??” The Elf squatted in front of Black Mark, overturned a pile of stones, and uttered a scream from time to time: “Smoke crystal?! Ah! There are Emerald, Yellow Crystal?! Its all are identified, the level is excellent…” After sighing, he rushed to the front of Black Mark and hugged his waist: “Please tell me, where did you get these gems from?”

Emerald/Jade

Yellow Crystal

Uh. . . . . Is it the habit in this world to meet and hold other people"s waist? “Let go first… okay?” Why is a skinny elf"s strength so great? Or is it simply that Black Mark strength just too low?
“Please tell me, how did you get these things, please!” The Elf"s pointed ears are much longer than the Demon. Now it"s pitifully pulled down, make slightest unhappiness in Black Mark"s heart disappear quickly without a trace.
“It was found in the wild, as for the item level I identified it myself. ”
“Ah? You have identified skill?” The elf"s golden eyes are lively round like a cat.
“Only a little,” he is not being modest, he is currently an intermediate level of identified skill.
“Hey~ come with me, okay~ we won"t treat you badly.” Grabbing the latter"s hand, the elf"s eyes almost came out with pink hearts.
…this… could he think that this is a way of human trafficking? While thinking about how to turn down the latter"s absolute request, Black Mark"s ear suddenly caught a familiar voice.
“Tong Tong~~ Who are you kidnapping ah?” A tall figure turned from behind the tree and saw Black Mark sitting under the tree, and the two men shouted at the same time.
“You"re that Rogue (Food Little Brother)??!! What are you doing here????!!!”

Why should Silence gone when this giant Cold Wave appear? would there be a third party or something? i want Silence get jealous of these two clingy guys haha…
