He is not as selfless as Zhou Ping, and he is not as caring about the world as Wang Mian. After all, he is still the same person who knelt down next to the dying body of Zhao Kongcheng in Cangnan City, pointed to the neon city in the distance in the rain, and asked: The boy who asked "Is it worth it for them?"
He knew his choice, and he might be ashamed of his status as a "Night Watchman", but so what
He joined the Night Watch, never to protect the common people, but for a ten-year agreement.
Along the way, Lin Qiye has experienced a lot, and has also met various night watchmen, such as Ye Fan, Zuo Qing, Li Deyang, Wang Mian, and Lu Qiu. He admires their shining spirit and also Try your best to fulfill your duties and be a qualified night watchman.
But deep in his soul, Lin Qiye is still first and foremost, and the night watchman second.
As Ye Mu said when he was founded, "The world is too big and there are too many people for us to manage, and we don't want to control it. I just want the people I cherish under this night to be safe forever."
Within the reach of that night, Lin Qiye can protect the people of the world.
But he is still too weak now. His night can only protect those around him and those he cherishes.
Although doing so may be a disservice to the king, and may make him unworthy of being a night watchman. If he could stand here now, relying on the immortality given to him by Jialan, he could helplessly watch the people he cherished die in front of his eyes, alone. If he survives, then he will no longer be Lin Qiye.
then,
Lin Qiye walked through the turbid sea water,
He came to the long knife that penetrated deeply into the stomach wall.
His eyes were full of determination.
Just when he stretched out his hand and his fingertips were about to touch the handle of Yi Yuan's knife, a helpless sigh came from behind him.
"well"
Lin Qiye's body trembled. Just as he was about to turn his head, a hand gently grabbed his wrist and put it down.
At some point, Merlin stood quietly behind him wearing a dark blue magic robe and a large hood, holding a gleaming scepter in his hand.
"Lord Merlin?!"
The moment he saw this figure, Lin Qiye was stunned.
It took him several seconds to react, and a look of shock appeared on his face.
You know, this is not a mental hospital of the gods. Merlin can appear here without his permission, which means that
"Are you discharged from the hospital?" Lin Qiye asked in surprise.
Merlin smiled slightly and stared into Lin Qiye's eyes with his deep eyes, seemingly seeing the deepest part of his heart.
"If I don't come out, you will have inner demons."
Lin Qiye was stunned on the spot.
Merlin was right.
When he chose to pull out this knife, he was indeed following the deepest choice in his heart, and he would never regret it. But at the same time, once he pulled out this knife, it meant that his identity as a night watchman would be stained forever. Stains that cannot be washed away.
At that time, how should he face his identity as a night watchman? How should he face the new recruits in the training camp, and how should he face the king
The moment he pulled out the knife, night watchman Lin Qiye would cease to exist.
Lin Qiye was silent for a moment, and then said: "I don't regret it."
"I know you won't regret it, but there are some things it's better not to do." Merlin patted his shoulder, his eyes fell on the long knife, and he spoke calmly in a very reassuring tone,
"Don't worry, I will settle everything for you."
Lord Merlin stretched out his hand and pulled Lin Qiye behind him. He raised his head and glanced at the approaching silver ring. He narrowed his eyes slightly. Star marks flashed through his eyes, as if he could spy on the trajectory of fate. .
Lin Qiye looked at that majestic figure, his anxiety and panic suddenly disappeared, and his mind completely relaxed.
Merlin gave him the feeling of being an extremely reliable patriarch. Now that he was here, all the difficulties that were currently plaguing Li Lin Qiye would be solved.
Can this closed time loop trap them, or the great God of Magic
Praise the God of Magic! !
"Your Excellency Merlin, do you have a way to rescue us without destroying the time loop?" Lin Qiye couldn't help but ask.
"Of course." Merlin nodded, withdrew his gaze, and added, "But it's not necessary."
"Why?"
"This closed loop has been destroyed. Even if I use magic to send you all out, it will automatically collapse after the law of time obliterates everything.
What's more, its mission has basically been completed. "
Mission basically completed
Lin Qiye heard the last sentence and doubts arose in his heart, "What is its mission?"
"I'll tell you later." Merlin looked at the slowly rotating ring of light at the end of the long knife in front of him, and said calmly, "Now, I want to end this first."
As the silver ring above his head gradually approached, in the deep sea, Merlin stretched out his palm, gently grasped the handle of Yiyuan's knife, and slowly pulled it out with force.
The blade withdrew from the stomach wall bit by bit, and the light ring at the end flickered violently. The time around Merlin began to disturb chaotically, sometimes speeding up, sometimes slowing down, and sometimes coming close to stopping, just like a TV screen with signal lag, mysterious. And weird.
Merlin's eyes narrowed slightly, and a white magic circle opened under his feet, adjusting the flow of time to the same frequency as the surroundings. With a sudden force on his palm, he pulled the knife out of the stomach wall like lightning.
At the same time, the expanding silver ring above suddenly stagnated, and then automatically shattered into pieces and disappeared into nothingness.
The law of time here has been completely lifted.
Outside the fishing village.
Beside the coast in the middle of the night, bright searchlights have already been set up, illuminating the entire coastline as brightly as daylight. Figures are walking busily on the beach, seemingly recording data.
Lu Ruici stood beside the carriage, looking at Master Chen sitting cross-legged on the boulder on the shore in the distance, and sighed helplessly.
"Have you not found that fishing village yet?" Zhou Dao asked, coming from a distance.
Lu Ruici shook his head, "Master has been sitting there for a day, and still hasn't found a way to enter the fishing village. I don't know what happened to the masks and night inside."
Zhou Dao opened his mouth and was about to say something when suddenly, a loud and shattering sound came from the sky.
Under the dim sky, the silver ring flashed away, and then a translucent field opened from the void. Black evil flames burned blazingly, and a terrifying wave suddenly descended.
At the beginning, it didn't think that it needed to use weapons when facing such an opponent, but at this moment it had to take out the weapons, otherwise it would have been unable to withstand it. No matter how strong you are after being reborn from the ashes, it will continue to be consumed. Once the power of your own blood is consumed too much, your origin will be damaged.
"I have to say, you exceeded my expectations. But now I have to use all my strength." Following Cao Yuwei's words, the Phoenix True Fire converged towards it like an ocean embracing all rivers, actually taking back the Phoenix True Flame Domain. .
The blazing true fire of the phoenix condensed and formed around its body, turning into a magnificent golden-red armor covering its whole body. Holding a sword in its hand, it stared at the beautiful young master like a demon.
The beautiful young master did not pursue him and stood at a distance, calming down his somewhat agitated mood. Although this battle did not last long, her mood was becoming more and more exciting.
She didn't know whether she could really resist it until she faced the Great Demon King-level immortal fire phoenix. Her confidence came from what Tang San had given her before. And as the battle continued, when she really started to suppress her opponent, and relied on the colorful sky fire liquid to protect herself from the Phoenix True Fire, she knew that she really could do it.
Over the past hundred years, Tang San taught her many fighting techniques, all of which were most suitable for her to use. Just like the previous Netherworld Thrust and Netherworld Hundred Claws. There was also the sword Xinghan that had just cut off Cao Yuwei's finger for the first time. From Tang San's point of view, these were truly magical skills. After he slightly modified them and taught them to Young Master Mei, they were the most suitable for her to use.
The more he used these abilities, the more Young Master Mei could not help but become convinced of Tang San. When Tang San first told her that these belonged to the category of divine skills, she was still somewhat confused. However, at this time, she was able to continuously injure and oppress her opponents through levels. If it wasn't a magical skill, how could she do it given the gap in cultivation
At this moment, all the emperors standing on the Emperor Tianzhu looked at this little girl with admiration. When the Phoenix True Flame Domain appeared, what they were considering was how long Young Master Mei could persist in this domain. The White Tiger Demon Emperor and the Jingfeng Demon Emperor were even ready to rescue them. However, as the battle continued, they watched dumbfoundedly. Young Master Mei actually suppressed a great demon king of the Immortal Fire Phoenix Tribe. In the true sense of the word, he suppressed him and even forced him to be reborn from the ashes. How incredible this is
