"The destructive power of the sword that burns magic flames may be enhanced, but it is still not too easy to break the simplest light shield. And you can easily break the consecrated shield with the magic you consume..."

Speaking of this, Betina suddenly stopped. When she saw Xu Mu looking at the sword, she groped gently, and her expression seemed a little depressed.

"Ahem..." Betina didn't understand why, and suddenly she couldn't say the persuasion words in her mouth.

Indeed, Xu Mu is a man who loves weapons and sword skills. This can be seen from the duel with Fert that although his words were persuading him to turn back and let go of his delusions, they were also hurting his longing heart.

Betina didn't know how to deal with the current situation, because she had never met a man who needed her to comfort her... because most men would deliberately show an extremely powerful state in front of her, and even if she really failed, she would have to bear face.

Xu Mu, who had always been calm in front of her, actually showed a lonely expression, which made her feel panicked.

"If...you really like sword skills...why find a way to get a magic crystal equipment?"

"Magic crystal equipment?"

Betina wondered: "Have you never heard of magic crystal equipment?"

Xu Mu naturally heard that before he duel with Fert, a mentor deliberately gave him a magic crystal sword, hoping that he could easily win Fert with his magic crystal equipment.

"I know, I know...but I haven't used magic crystal equipment yet. I heard it's quite expensive."

Betina burst out laughing: "You are a nobleman after all. Although the magic crystal equipment is not cheap, it is not difficult for you to own it, right?"

"You don't understand." Xu Mu shook his head helplessly, "I have not been granted a title or fiefdom, so I have no income from a fiefdom... As for the position income, I have only been in office for one month, and the salary of the Knight Captain is not very much. I guess the monthly salary has been sent to my home in the capital. And I didn't bring much money to go out this time..." He sighed when he said this.

Betina covered her mouth and smiled, her eyes narrowed. She had never seen any nobleman as poor as Xu Mu.

When Xu Mu heard the laughter, he turned his head and saw Betina's appearance, and shook his head and curled his lips in anger.

After laughing, Betina groped through her waist, and after a while, she took out a dagger with exquisite decorative sheath and handed it to Xu Mu.

Seeing this, Xu Mu hesitated for a while, and then reached out to take it.

The two of them touched each other gently, and Betina's heart beats and her hands shook.

She has never had physical contact with a man other than an elder...

Seeing that Betina was strange, Xu Mu looked at her with a dagger and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing!" Betina blushed and shook her head, "Your hands are just cold..."

Xu Mu nodded as if he woke up: "I'm sorry."

Seeing that Xu Mu didn't notice anything, Betina breathed a sigh of relief. Although Xu Mu's clothes were not very thin, they were not much thicker, and she couldn't help but care: "You are wearing so little, aren't you cold?"

"Cold? It's okay. A little colder can also improve your concentration... In the past, even the coldest days have come, and this is actually nothing." Xu Mu couldn't help but sigh when he remembered his days in Kailie Kingdom.

He held the dagger and pulled it out of the sheath, and saw a trace of crystal red light emitted from the dagger. It was a dagger tempered by the fire magic crystal. Judging from the fiery red patterns of the dagger, it seemed that there were still many magic crystals used.

"Did you...haven't you been doing well before?" Betina asked carefully.

Xu Mu gently stroked the dagger with his hand, as if he was appreciating a beauty: "Okay...it's so good that it can't be better. In the Kingdom of Kailie, I was always polite to say that I was a civilian. At that time, I was a pariah without a deceased person."

Betina was shocked. She had thought that Xu Mu's life as a civilian would be a little worse than before, but she never thought that Xu Mu was not even a civilian... However, when she saw Xu Mu's face was calm, she seemed to have no taboos or did not pay attention to her former identity?

The branches of the fire made a sound, and Betina looked at Xu Mu quietly. The fire light was cast on Xu Mu's firm face, with a firm and courageous look, which made Betina's heart touched again, and she quickly moved her gaze away.

"At that time, I thought I could make a living by relying on my own abilities... I didn't expect that because I was a pariah without identity certificates, no one dared to ask me to do things." Xu Mu held the dagger and was a little stunned: "At first, I firmly believed that I had a way and a way to exchange food with my hands... However, after I was hungry for two days, I still had no way out, but I didn't want to steal things. I thought this was contrary to my inner principles of being a human being. Then when I was thirsty, I went to drink mud and water, river water, and when I was hungry, I went to find other people to throw away food they didn't want..."

In fact, it’s just picking up trash and eating... but Xu Mu can’t say these words after all.

Betina's heart was soft, her voice was gentle, like a wind chime: "Are you... okay?"

Xu Mu smiled without caring: "What can I do? Don't look at me so relaxed. Fortunately, I was still strong at that time, otherwise I would not be able to rob the beggars and homeless people of the discarded food. Although I was not living well, I did not do bad things for now... I just lowered my bottom line in being a human being."

"You don't seem to care about your past... If other nobles had your past, they would definitely not tell anyone, after all, this would make people feel..."

"I think I'm a low-class person and it's not suitable to get along with me?"

Betina didn't speak, and seemed to have made accusation.

"It's past, it's past. I'm not proud or shameful about what happened, but I just sigh... After all, survival is the power that people should have when they are born. If I feel shame even if I survive, then living is just a walking corpse." Xu Mu shook his head, "I used to be in winter and didn't even dare to be extravagant in a piece of clothing. When I almost freeze to death, my remaining sense of survival drove me out of the town to find the wild corpses, and then untie their clothes and put them on. However, now, it seems that I have everything..."

"So you are not afraid of the cold?"
