Chapter 27 - Hunting Ground
Chapter 27 – Hunting Ground
Axel had to use all his willpower to pull away from him and he said : "The only thing we have to eat is the food in your magic bag, that will be enough for tonight, we'll see tomorrow how we will organize."
Axel then asked him curiously : "Do you know how to cook ?"
Kevin nodded : "I didn't have much of a choice, it's something I learned to do very young, at least I was sure that the food I was eating wasn't poisoned."
Axel clenched his fists, he was having a hard time imagining the life he had to live in his home world and he only wanted to become powerful enough to be able to go there and slaughter all those who had hurt him.
He then hurriedly told him : "If you don't like cooking we can always buy ready-made meals or eat in the canteen, don't worry about that though."
Kevin smiled and finally got up and stretched, he held out his hand to Axel who took it with a smile, and Kevin said to him : "Show me our new home Axel, and let's go eat, then you will tell me more on what you have planned for tomorrow, and you can forget about using the canteen again."
Axel just nodded, he didn't know why he disliked the canteen so much but it didn't matter to him.
He showed him all the rooms and when Kevin saw the kitchen that looked like the one in his home world, he said to him : "I do like cooking Axel, but we will also buy ready-made meals. There are bound to be times when I don't feel like cooking and I don't want to feel pressured into having to."
Axel took him in his arms and said to him before kissing him tenderly : "We'll do as you like Kev."
After this tender moment Kevin took out the food that was in his magic bag, and they began to eat quietly.
Kevin found the cured meat delicious and Axel told him that it probably came from a low level magical beast, that was why it tasted good and could keep for a long time.
He also told him that the higher the level of the magical beast and the more nutritious it was, the same serving as now, could feed them for several days without a problem.
Kevin was fascinated, he had so much to learn about this world, so he asked Axel curiously : "Where are we going tomorrow to try and find a dungeon ?"
Axel smiled at him and took out the map of the territories around the Sun Sect, he showed him the Wildlands and said : "This is where we will go tomorrow, we will need to be careful and you will have to disguise because we'll have to go incognito.
As you can see, the Wildlands are surrounded by three different sects and if we ever meet people from another sect, no one should know that we are from the Sun Sect, otherwise it will get us into trouble."
Kevin looked at him and asked : "Why can't we just kill them, problem solved.
And anyway, you're not a little too famous for us to go unnoticed ?"
Axel said to him very seriously : "If we can avoid killing people it would be better, and I will remain in my wolf form so that I won't be recognized."
Axel added : "This is our best option for quickly finding dungeons to loot."
Kevin smiled and asked him : "So this Wildlands will become our hunting ground right ?"
Axel just nodded and Kevin said : "That's great then !"
He looked at the time on the kitchen clock and it was already 1:15 am, so he asked Axel : "When do you want to go ?"
Axel replied with a dazzling smile : "At 6am, everyone will still be sleeping and with my speed when I'm in my wolf form, we should get there around 8am, after that I'll let my senses guide us to find a dungeon."
Kevin could say goodbye to his daily quests tomorrow, but looting a dungeon or may be two dungeons was much more exhilarating.
Kevin nodded to tell him that he was okay with his plan, they had enough food in his magic bag to be able to last several days if necessary, so they just had to go to bed to rest and be ready for tomorrow.
They got up at 5am to take the time to prepare. After washing up and having breakfast, which meant another portion of cured meat, Axel suddenly said to him : "Take out all the items we found last time, we're going to use as many as possible to boost our stats."
Kevin then took out all the items and he and Axel equipped themselves by mutual agreement.
Kevin even made, using the medium grade belt and leather straps he had purchased, a double scabbard like that Axel could carry the two high grade swords on his back.
Axel was really amazed by all of Kevin's talents and he said it without hiding his admiration : "Kev, you are really amazing, this double scabbard is just perfect."
Kevin smiled excitedly at him : "It's really nothing, do you want to know our stats now ?"
Axel nodded he was really impatient to know about it.
Kevin first checked his own Stats using the System and the holographic screen popped up as soon as he thought about it.

Kevin couldn't help but exclaim : "So cool ! With you by my side I really feel safe for the first time in my life, let's go !"
Axel couldn't help but took him in his arms and told him : "I will always protect you and care for you as long as you let me stay by your side."
