After that, everyone stayed in Langton City for a few days.
These days, Shao Ci has been treated very warmly here. He was surrounded by people giving flowers every minute he walked on the street. No matter what he wanted to buy, the shopkeeper gave it to him directly. There are many people who agree with each other.
Shao Ci couldn't help but start to admire Ewings. This guy actually created such a dream for everyone in the city. It should be said that he did his best or had nothing to do.
... But he couldn't take it anymore!
It was Wendell who proposed to leave first, so he bid farewell to Earl John who was graciously retained, and the group continued on the road.
This time, it was replaced with a new carriage presented by the earl, which was much more comfortable than before.
Of course, Shao Ci was the only one in the carriage, after all... only he was the kind of weak chicken who gasped after a few steps on the horse.
Shao Ci himself was also in despair! If the system hadn't fast-forwarded so casually for several years, his body wouldn't be so salty!
Fortunately, the road between Langton City and the Holy Capital is extremely smooth and not as bumpy as before, so the speed of driving is also very fast. It is estimated that it will only take four or five days to reach the Holy Capital.
On the way, Wendell was afraid that Shao Ci would be bored, so he rode to the window and talked to him about the holy capital.
Shengdu is a suspended city, and it is said that it is also the place closest to the gods. It can only be entered through the teleportation array and the special teleportation scroll. It can be said that the biggest dream of all the clergy is to enter the holy capital.
Of course, ordinary people are generally unable to enter it all their lives, even the king of a certain country... But brave men like Shao Ci are exceptions, and they can even meet the Pope directly.
Shao Ci was not too excited, he had even met God, would he care about this holy capital? I'm still worried about whether the matter of signing a contract with the monster will be more realistic.
Just as Shao Ci was thinking, a figure quietly appeared beside him, Shao Ci knew who it was without turning his head, and immediately said impatiently: "Ewings, why are you out again? "
The gorgeous young man with black hair and red eyes lay on Shao Ci's lap as if he had no bones, and said with a bit of grievance, "Master Brave, I'm so boring by myself."
Shao Ci said: "Now is not the time to play with you, hurry back!"
Knowing that Ewings can transform into a body in reality is a matter before leaving Langton City, but Shao Ci rarely allows him to come out, and he has no time to play with him, so Ewings seems to have accumulated a lot. dissatisfied.
"There's nothing to be afraid of." Ewings said lazily, "There's no one else here."
"No, Wendell is outside!" Shao Ci lowered his volume and carefully looked outside. Although the curtains of the windows were drawn, it felt like the wind would blow them away if the wind was stronger... Del was in trouble when he saw it.
"Hmm." Ewings said dissatisfied: "Master Brave only cares about that man and doesn't spend much time with me, am I very unhappy?" He hugged Shao Ci while speaking, and rubbed against him.
Shao Ci: "Wow, don't I accompany you every night..."
After saying it, I realized that this sentence sounded terrible, but what Shao Ci said was true... He would dream of Ewings in his dreams every night, and then he would be forced to kiss and hug him or something, being entangled Taking a bath together or something is commonplace.
Fortunately, Ewings considered that he still had to meet people during the day, so he also knew how to restrain himself and let Shao Ci leave early, so that Shao Ci would not have two dark circles under his eyes during the day.
Although I knew Ewings was a difficult guy before, but now it seems to be even more difficult!
"It's not enough at night, and the brave man doesn't allow me to go to other people's dreams. Every day is really boring." Ewings leaned forward as he spoke, and slipped his hand over Shao Ci's collar, and the button of his shirt was unbuttoned immediately Come, revealing a part of the white neck hidden in it.
Shao Ci's heart was about to jump out of fright, and he quickly reached out to stop Ewings, but he didn't dare to make too much noise. In addition, Shao Ci's own strength is so strong, this resistance is very difficult for Ewings. Insignificant at all.
Although Shao Ci can use the contract to force the other party to stop, it takes a lot of mental energy... The movement is not small, and it is obviously too wasteful to use it in this kind of place.
Shao Ci could only glared at Ewings, "That's something you promised yourself... um..."
Ewings leaned closer to Shao Ci's ear and said, "Don't worry about anything else, it was just a dream when we met, wasn't it? In reality, I haven't been close to Lord Brave for a long time..."
It's better to say that they haven't met in reality a few times at all!
Shao Ci could clearly feel the heat sprayed out between the other party's words, and his face blushed for a while, "Wait... woo wow... If, if it is discovered..."
The intimacy was all in a dream before, so it doesn't matter, but now it's reality, and Wendell is still outside, which makes Shao Ci feel bad...
"Speaking of which, there are still many famous tourist towns at the foot of the Holy Capital. By then..." Wendell's voice was still talking about the Holy Capital. Shao Ci struggled to hear what he said, but he couldn't concentrate.
"Hmph, I'll be happy only when I'm discovered." Ewings bit Shao Ci's neck lightly, and said in a low voice, "Well, Mr. Brave is really not paying attention..."
"You bastard...!" Shao Ci felt the urge to beat him up.
The next moment, Wendell's doubtful voice came over, "What's the matter? Did something happen?"
Shao Ci hastily said: "No—wow...no, no!" Then he gave Ewings a fierce look at Ewings who had just taken the opportunity to bite his neck.
"Are you really okay?" Wendell's voice was a bit worried, "I always feel that your state is not right from the beginning, do you need me to take a look?"
Shao Ci knew from a long time ago that Wendell is a very careful person, but now he would rather Wendell not be so careful!
Shao Ci covered Ewings' mouth, and then said, "I'm probably just a little tired, it's okay! I don't need to trouble you for this!"
"If only this is the case." Wendell said with concern: "If you are really uncomfortable, you can say it."
"Hmm... um—" Shao Ci's expression changed suddenly, he felt something warm slipping through his palm, and suddenly a strange feeling poured from his palm to his limbs, making him feel bad all over.
And Ewings, who was close in front of him, raised his eyebrows, staring at him with those crimson eyes, which were so charming, as if people could get lost in it, Shao Ci was stunned all of a sudden.
"What's the matter?" Wendell keenly sensed something was wrong, and immediately opened the curtain, and saw Shao Ci sitting on the seat blankly, "Are you okay?" Then he put his eyes on the untied cloth on his body. Button up.
Shao Ci immediately came to his senses, quickly stretched out his hand to button up the button, and said, "No, there is nothing, it's just that I suddenly felt a little hot just now, so that's it..."
"It's fine if it's okay." Wendell smiled and loosened the curtain.
Shao Ci could still hear the voices of other knights asking Wendell how he was, and felt that his heartbeat couldn't calm down now... How the hell is it like catching rape!
"Master Brave, it was really dangerous just now." Ewings' figure appeared on the seat opposite Shao Ci again. He smiled and picked up a cup of transformed tea from the table, and took a sip gracefully. The knight saw it, and it seems that it will become a very troublesome development."
But he just hated that Wendell, so he deliberately did this kind of thing at this time... Of course, his hero's angry look is also very cute.
"Who did it all!" Shao Ci gritted his teeth and said, "You bastard, be honest with me! Stay in the dream and don't come out!"
"Master Brave clearly promised to feed me?" Ewings sighed softly, "Are you already tired after only a few days? But I have already signed an unequal contract. It's too much. .”
"Don't tell me I'm like a heartless person!" Shao Ci said helplessly, "I'm not ignoring you, I just want you to see the occasion. And here's fine, when we get to the holy capital , you must never come out."
"Okay, okay, I get it." Ewings smiled and said, "I don't want to take the initiative to die, but I have to take good care of the brave man."
Shao Ci couldn't help but want to complain, "Who is taking care of whom..."
"Anyway, I'm satisfied this time. Thank you, Lord Brave, for your hospitality?" Ewings leaned forward and kissed Shao Ci's lips lightly, and his figure disappeared completely the next moment.
"Is it finally over..." Shao Ci sighed, thinking that more such things would happen in his future life, he began to feel a dull pain in his mind.
The only good thing is that the purification has also been completed... After all, Ewings is really a very clingy guy.
Wendell, who was riding outside, lowered his eyes slightly.
The breeze blew through his brilliant blond hair, but his eyes, which were as blue as the sea in the past, were a little darker. He whispered in a voice that only he could hear: "Sure enough, such dangerous things as monsters shouldn't exist in this place." In the world."
—
Soon, everyone arrived within the scope of the holy capital.
The scope of the Holy City's control is huge. An ordinary city was built under the hanging city. In the past, it was a holy place of pilgrimage in the hearts of many people, but now it is a paradise in the hearts of many people who are afraid of monsters.
Of course, even if it's just an ordinary city under the hanging city, it's not so easy to enter.
Looking up at the extremely holy city floating in the air, Shao Ci was a little stunned.
The pure white building shone brightly in the sun, and there was a huge magic circle surrounding the entire suspended city. Just by looking at it, one could tell how much magic power would be consumed. In the entire continent, it is estimated that only the Holy Capital and the Association of Magicians can do this.
After entering the city, after learning of Shao Ci's identity, the eyes of the people around him suddenly showed a bit of respect.
What happened in Langton City has spread in the past few days, and many people know about the brave man who saved the people and fought against the monsters in Langdon City. Many people who fled their hometowns because of monsters are almost pinning their hopes on this new hero.
Shao Ci said that the pressure is still quite high...
As a brave man, Shao Ci can enter the Hanging City, but he is only allowed to bring one companion in.
Of course Shao Ci chose Wendell, and the others took it for granted... After all, Wendell's attitude towards Shao Ci along the way is obvious to all, and other people's incomprehension at the beginning quickly became commonplace later on.
Of course, after what happened in Langton City, other knights were also a little jealous of Wendell, jealous that this guy could gain all the trust of the brave man.
After entering the Hanging City, which is the real holy capital, through the teleportation array, Shao Ci only felt the cold air rushing towards him, and subconsciously tightened his clothes. Wendell next to him immediately took off his cloak and covered Shao Ci.
The entire holy city feels deserted, and the temperature is much lower than that on the ground. When you turn your head, you can see frost condensing in many places. This is said to be because the materials used to provide energy for the magic circle are very special. relation.
Shao Ci could clearly feel that Ewings, who had a contract with him, was uncomfortable. After all, this is the holy capital, the place where the power of light in the entire continent is the strongest. It's no wonder that ordinary monsters don't lose most of their lives after entering.
Entering the place that is considered a holy place by the people of the whole continent, even Shao Ci became a little nervous.
While walking through the long road, Shao Ci felt a strange aura somewhere, and subconsciously turned his head to look, only to see something emitting silver light under the sun.
But the breath disappeared in just a moment, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
Soon the two were brought before the Pope.
The pope looked like a very kind old man, surrounded by extremely strong light power, which made people feel good about him subconsciously.
After Shao Ci saluted, the other party lightly patted Shao Ci on the shoulder, "As expected of the brave man chosen by the gods, you are a good boy, I can see that your soul is very pure, if you learn the magic arts, you will be able to have success soon. achieved."
Shao Ci: "..." Isn't this really a joke? ! In the original work, Wendell seems to have never encountered such a thing!
Soon he knew that what the Pope said was indeed not a joke, because the other party immediately arranged for him the high priest as a teacher, and asked Shao Ci to stay in the holy capital to study divine arts for more than ten days.
Of course, Shao Ci would not refuse. This kind of magic can not be learned in other temples. Only the holy capital can learn advanced magic. Not only is it very powerful against monsters, but it is not inferior even if it is used to fight magicians.
Then the Pope looked at Wendell behind Shao Ci, with a hint of surprise and appreciation in his eyes.
Shao Ci immediately pulled Wendell aside, saying that Wendell was his best friend and a very devout believer.
The pope suddenly showed a kind smile, and let Wendell study with other temple knights during this time.
When the two came out of the temple, Wendell reached out and stroked Shao Ci's hair, "You didn't have to speak for me just now."
"What I said is the truth." Shao Ci said hastily. After all, this is what Wendell deserves... And Shao Ci also hoped to hold Wendell's thigh, and watch him kill monsters in the future.
"Speaking of which, it's the first time I've come to this kind of place." Wendell said softly, "How do you feel? Are you afraid?"
"It's okay." Shao Ci said hastily. Compared with the Pope or something, he still faintly felt that there was something strange around him from the very beginning...
After thinking about it, he still whispered his doubts to Wendell. After all, I had a similar feeling when I was in Langton City before, and then I met Ewings.
"How is it possible?" Wendell comforted, "This is the most holy place in the entire continent. Even the devil dare not come here. How could there be any monsters."
"That's right, I'm too tired." Shao Ci felt that he probably thought too much, and probably Ewings' uneasiness infected him along the contract.
The two were arranged in the holy capital, and after they ran out of food—that is, bread and holy water—they were sent to their room to rest.
When Shao Ci thought of how miserable these people in the holy capital were, he felt a little sympathy in his heart. Fortunately, he only needed to stay for more than ten days before he could leave.
In the following days, Wendell was exercising with other knights. Shao Ci, on the other hand, learned magic arts under the guidance of the high priest, and learned some news about monsters and the devil king.
It is said that in recent years, the power of the demon king has expanded, and the surrounding monsters have become more and more powerful. Many humans had to give up their original residences, and many people were captured by monsters, and their lives are still unknown.
Now, nearly one-fifth of the land in the entire continent has been occupied, only because the occupied part has been desolate since before, so the situation does not appear to be too urgent, and the temple and some countries have also blocked a lot of news , so that the people did not panic.
But in fact, the current situation is not optimistic, after all, the monsters are getting stronger and stronger.
Shao Ci: "!" Having said that, I suddenly feel that the matter has become very urgent.
...
…
At night, Shao Ci, who used to fall asleep as soon as he touched the pillow, felt a little insomnia.
In the past few days, due to the suppression of the magic circle in the holy capital, Ewings has not appeared, so he is sleeping normally...
But he is still under a lot of pressure. Just thinking about the need to purify eight monsters and the twisted original plot makes his stomach hurt.
Anyway, because he couldn't sleep, Shao Ci got up and went for a walk in the garden.
The garden in the holy capital is huge, but usually few people come. The plants inside are said to have been transplanted from the extreme north, and they grow like frozen plants, emitting a faint blue light under the moonlight.
Shao Ci walked in it, and felt that his mood seemed to be much calmer.
But after turning a corner, Shao Ci suddenly stopped and looked forward in astonishment.
I saw a young man standing among the ice-like flowers. He had long silver hair that fell to the ground, and it seemed to be shining under the moonlight.
The other party seemed to notice something and turned his head, those ice blue eyes looked in Shao Ci's direction.
"...Eh?" Shao Ci was stunned for a moment, the person in front of him looked very familiar...it was the boy possessed by a god that he had seen in his dream.
It seems that the other party also lives in the holy capital, but it seems that he hasn't seen him in the past few days.
Speaking of which, in the original work, Wendell was meeting with the Pope, and was immediately assigned a task by the other party, and then left directly the next day.
And when Wendell came back next time, the pope was said to have eaten lunch in order to weaken the power of the demon king, and the pope was an extremely young son.
In the past few days, Shao Ci had also secretly inquired about the Holy Son, but the others never told him anything as if they were taboo.
I didn't expect to see him here... Even if he didn't know the other party's life experience, just relying on the scene where he was possessed by a god last time, Shao Ci estimated that he was the holy son.
The silver-haired boy's face was pale, and he looked very weak. His whole body was like a delicate and fragile product. He just stared at Shao Ci lightly, without the slightest emotion in his eyes.
Shao Ci felt that he might have come to a place he shouldn't have come, and said, "Well, I'm sorry, I'll go first..."
The next moment, he suddenly found that he couldn't move. Looking down, his legs had been covered in frost at some point.
Shao Ci: "!" Hello.
The silver-haired boy was walking towards here, as if he was sure that Shao Ci would not be able to leave, and his movements were quite slow.
It can be seen that the ground stepped on by the silver-haired boy has condensed frost. If it wasn't because the other party was possessed by a god last time, Shao Ci would have suspected that he was not human...
Speaking of which, because some human beings were born with too much elemental power in their bodies, they would escape uncontrollably. And such people generally do not live to adulthood. Shao Ci felt that the young man in front of him was probably in the same situation.
After the silver-haired boy walked up to Shao Ci, a beautiful ice flower condensed on his hand. He put the ice flower on Shao Ci's hand with a very serious expression, and then whispered: "You will die."
Shao Ci: "You, what are you talking about..." If ordinary people walk up and leave such a sentence, Shao Ci must think he is crazy.
But looking at the young man in front of him staring at what he said slowly, he felt that what the other party said might be true.
Then the other party whispered again, "... I will wait for you."
After the words were finished, the silver-haired boy let go of his hand and walked away from Shao Ci.
When Shao Ci turned his head to look again, he didn't even see the shadow of the other party. He subconsciously looked at the ice flower in his hand. If it wasn't for this flower, he almost thought that everything that happened just now was a dream .
Sure enough, this saint is very strange.
