Chapter 154: Storyteller

Views:

Xu Le stared at the cards in front of him, then activated his Ancient Sound Multi-Vision.

Inject spiritual energy and activate the ancient sound thread of destiny.

"I don't know if I can touch that door again!"

In fact, Xu Le only took the initiative to open the door of the Night Fury when he first unlocked the Black Sheep Girl.

And the puppet's door was opened by the puppet himself.

After that, Xu Le never opened the Night Fury's portal again, and he didn't know whether he could succeed this time.

After absorbing Gu Yinduo's spiritual energy, the black sheep girl in his hand gradually floated in front of Xu Le.

Ding Ke on the side had been observing Xu Le. She always felt that Xu Le would often do some strange things. Normally, even a forbidden warlock would not do those things.

How do I describe that feeling? It’s like a secret within a secret, like a nesting doll.

Xu Le's attention was all focused on the cards at this time, so he didn't notice Ding Ke's attention.

Of course, he didn't really care about letting Ding Ke know about his affairs.

As Xu Le injected more and more spiritual energy, the card in front of him gradually turned into a pixelated state.

The other colors in the center of the card gradually began to peel away, and in their place was an endless vortex of darkness.

Xu Le knew that he had succeeded.

This endless vortex of darkness is the "door" to the world of Night Fury.

"Huh, when people are weak, it's best to find a reliable big brother."

The seventh vertebra twisted, and the branch of Gu Yin Duo Shi slowly stretched out, replacing Xu Le's fingers to touch the dark vortex.

Xu Le's body twisted again...

Meow! ~

Ding Ke was speechless. This guy did just this when he came back. Didn’t he know how to play with him for a while

Entering the world of Night Fury, Xu Le clenched the cane in his hand.

There is only endless darkness here and the roars of night demons.

To be honest, in terms of visual perception, the puppet world is much more beautiful than the dark world of Night Fury.

It's like a paradise there.

However, Xu Le didn't want to go to that place at all. On the contrary, the dark environment here made him feel extra safe.

Well, it's like coming home.

He raised the black staff, and light began to emanate from the handle.

The light illuminated the surroundings and made the night demons that were clinging to Xu Le retreat.

Xu Le was much calmer this time. He was not as nervous as last time, so nervous that he couldn't even see his surroundings clearly.

This time, he roughly counted the number of night demons around him.

Well, there’s probably no way to judge the number, it’s just too many.

If the night demons here rush out, Xu Le feels that they will be able to take over a city.

They all reside in the world of Night Fury, and it is unknown whether they have reincarnation and survival needs.

While thinking and walking, Xu Le had already arrived near the fire.

The Night Fury in the form of a little girl was still sitting by the bonfire.

When Xu Le's black stick went out, this small bonfire became the only place with light here.

"There you go again, storyteller."

Ye Fu took the initiative to talk to Xu Le, but the way she addressed Xu Le was really... quite realistic.

"Yes, I do it again, Master Night Fury."

Xu Le hesitated for a moment, but still did not rush to express his needs.

Before making any request in front of his elder brother, he felt that he should listen to his elder brother's request first.

Sure enough, after Xu Le sat down quietly, Ye Sha turned around and asked:

“Are you ready for a new story?”

Xu Le narrowed his eyes and nodded:

"It's ready. The story I'm bringing to Lord Night Fury this time is called "Life of Pi."

In fact, Xu Le also took some risks when choosing this story.

He was thinking about it after he first met the Night Fury and after hearing that the Night Fury had a new story request.

What kind of stories does the Night Fury like to hear

Snow White? Cinderella? Or maybe Dragon Quest or something

After thinking about this question for a long time, Xu Le recalled the state of Night Fury when he was listening to the story.

In the story of "Spirited Away", Night Fury was initially calm, but when Xu Le mentioned some metaphors and the final brave quality, Night Fury really showed an interested expression.

So Xu Le guessed that Ye Sha wanted to hear a story, and it was definitely not a simple children's story. She should want to hear something profound.

This depth may not need to be too profound, but it at least needs to make people think.

After having these thoughts, Xu Le began to use the ethereal state to retrieve his memories.

In the end, he chose the story of "Life of Pi".

It was a risky choice, and Xu Le could only hope that the Night Fury would like this story.

"Crossing? Unfortunately, I haven't been to the sea for a long time. Tell me about it."

Night Fury has been to the sea? There is an ocean in this world? OK, got it.

Xu Le did not let his thoughts be immersed in what Ye Sha had just said. After organizing his words a little, he began to tell the story.

"When Pai was 17 years old, his parents decided to immigrate with their family in pursuit of a better life..."

Xu Le told the story very slowly this time, because there are many details and hidden meanings in this story that are difficult to accept.

When Xu Ledao said that his sect had finally found new land, Ye Fu suddenly said:

"The sealed demon broke free from his cage. If such a being survived, he would become a terrifying creature, because he gave up other things for the sake of life."

Xu Le was slightly stunned. He hadn't explained the plot yet...

Ye Fury's sudden words made him unsure of how to continue the story.

"Did Lord Night Fury hear the moral of the story?"

“The story is pretty straightforward, Pi killed everybody.

There is nothing wrong with doing it for the sake of survival, but he should be a tiger, and as a tiger, he should not glorify his behavior.

In this way, isn't it the same as those hypocritical humans?"

Xu Le: Hypocritical humans? I feel like I've been alluded to.

He was a little shocked. Although Ye Fury did not express it clearly, he understood that Ye Fury had already heard the hidden content of the story the first time he heard it and made his own judgment.

This big brother is not easy to fool!

"Master Night Fury, do you think he did something wrong?"

"There is no right or wrong. Whoever survives is right."

There was silence between Xu Le and Night Fury, and he could feel Night Fury digesting the story.

Yes, it’s digestion. She is digesting the emotions and choices in the story.

Xu Le didn't dare to disturb him at this time.

After a while, Ye Sha turned around and nodded slightly to Xu Le:

“A very good story, better than the last one… No, they are different, I can only say that I like this one better.

You did a great job, storyteller.”

When Xu Le heard Ye Sha say that he liked this story and praised him, he finally let go of his worries.

Just like it, just like it.

This means that his thinking and choices are correct, which is very important.

Because Xu Le knew that his future contacts with Night Furies would definitely not end there.

He needs to create more stories, more correct stories, stories with meaning, not just beautiful stories.

"As long as Lord Night Fury likes it."

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Xu Le breathed a sigh of relief again, his judgment was correct again.

Fortunately, at the beginning, I didn't ask my eldest brother for help right away.

Come to think of it, if you don’t make your big brother happy, how can he do things for you

Now that the eldest brother is comfortable, it is reasonable for him to do things for the younger brother.

"Master Night Fury, I am threatened by a puppet."

"knew."

"… "

Xu Le didn't know how to continue. What did it mean to know it? Was that enough

"If I didn't do what the puppet said, would it be..."

"Do what you want to do."

OK, big brother is awesome.

"I understand, Master Night Fury."

"Next time you come, remember to prepare a new story."

"clear."

Xu Le could only sigh that Ye Fury's words were really simple and clear.

The dark world collapsed, and Xu Le returned to his bedroom again.

Ding Ke was already startled by him. This guy disappeared for a while and it was endless.

Meow!

Hearing the cat's meow, Xu Le glanced at Ding Ke, then looked at the uneaten cat food next to him, walked over and touched Ding Ke's head.

"Be good, Ding Ke. I'll accompany you later. Now I have something important to do outside."

After Xu Le finished speaking, he turned and walked out the door.

Meow! ~

It is very dissatisfied with the fact that its owner runs around like a lunatic and only gives it cat food but no snacks or canned food.

I don't know what was wrong with him, he kept jumping back and forth several times.

Ding Ke grabbed Xu Le's clothes, but Xu Le turned around and waved at him.

"Okay, okay, be good and wait for me to come back."

Ding Ke had no choice but to let him go.

Xu Le also thought about going to see Wang Shu again tomorrow, or making more preparations.

But the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this matter could not be delayed.

Gu Yinduo's Fruit of Destiny is too important, and Wang Shu's matter cannot be delayed, not to mention the puppet.

Although he has now communicated with Ye Sha and has become his close friend, he still understands that the longer the night, the more trouble he will have.

So Xu Le didn't think much about it and went to the hotel address that Wang Shu had left for him.

This is a very ordinary hotel.

This is normal. Although most of the mercenaries live a life of danger and often indulge in drunkenness and debauchery, there are still many mercenaries who are relatively frugal.

These mercenaries are actually the simplest warriors or some wandering sorcerers.

Their purpose of becoming mercenaries is just to make money in exchange for resources for training and growth.

What they pursue is to become stronger.

Therefore, ordinary hotels are naturally the best choice for these mercenaries.

"Hello, I'm looking for Wang Shu from the Black Spider Mercenary Group. He's in room 306."

The waiter took a look at Xu Le, and his attitude immediately improved after seeing Xu Le's work ID from the Rose Studio.

"Okay sir, I'll let you know right away. Please wait here for a moment."

The preferential treatment for those with high academic qualifications is once again demonstrated, and it feels really good.

"OK."

Xu Le stayed in the hotel living room, which was very small. Besides Xu Le, there were two burly mercenaries.

Xu Le felt that their arms were thicker than his waist. He didn't know if they could be considered normal warriors.

In Xu Le's understanding, in addition to a strong body, agility and speed are also very important physical conditions for a warrior.

Because no matter how much humans train their bodies, their own strength cannot be compared with that of monsters.

These people train like bodybuilders, so how can they be fast

At the door of Room 306, the waiter was about to knock but was stopped.

The one who stopped him was Ge Sini, who had been looking after Wang Shu.

She was also ordered to look after Wang Shu, because the leader of the Black Spider Group, the widow, also understood that Wang Shu was an unsafe newcomer.

So she was nominally taking care of Wang Shu, but in reality... she was also kind of monitoring him.

When she saw the waiter about to knock on the door, Ge Sini's expression became puzzled.

There were only her and Wang Shu in this room. Wang Shu never had any demands and spent most of his time either practicing or sleeping.

I didn't order anything and it's not meal time yet, but the waiter came here... I feel like there's something wrong!

"I'm Gusini, the tenant of Room 306. What are you doing here?"

"There is a man named Xu Le downstairs looking for Mr. Wang Shu. I came here to inform Mr. Wang Shu."

"Looking for Wang Shu. Okay, I got it. He's resting. I'll notify him later."

"This..." The waiter looked a little embarrassed, but Ge Sini didn't give him any chance to refute.

"Why are you still here? Disturbing our world of two? Do we have to open the door for you to watch while we do it?"

The waiter is just an employee, how can he afford to offend a Tianrui Lifeng mercenary like Ge Sini.

After hearing Ge Sini's fierce words, the waiter could only go downstairs in dejection.

"Xu Le? Do you really know him?"

Since Ge Sini was sent to keep an eye on Wang Shu, she must be a very thoughtful person.

She was the one who compiled the previous mission report herself, and since not much time had passed, of course she remembered the people involved in the rescue mission.

Naturally, she noticed the three people with the surname Xu.

"Ashu said he was from Lighthouse. I didn't expect he actually knew a Zion person. That's interesting."

Ge Sini went downstairs directly. She wanted to meet Xu Le and find out what this man did.

After she went downstairs, the door of Room 306 was opened quietly by Wang Shu.

After keeping a distance, Wang Shu walked down the stairs silently.

In the living room on the first floor, Xu Le saw Ge Sini walking out from the stairs.

He had seen this woman before. During the rescue mission, this woman sat next to Wang Shu.

Although Ge Sini hadn't spoken yet, from the way she walked over, Xu Le could basically determine that this woman was coming for him.

Xu Le instantly entered a state of emptiness.

He was not afraid of Tianrui Lifeng's mercenary group, but was thinking about whether the mercenary group that Wang Shu was in now had any value

If it's valuable, it would be a good temporary staff.

Especially now that he is extremely short of people.

Ge Si Ni walked up to Xu Le and asked straight to the point:

"Are you Xu Le?"

As a mercenary, although Ge Sini is very thoughtful, her way of doing things still retains the straightforwardness of Tian Rui Lifeng.

Xu Le did not hold back at this time, nor did he pretend to be a student or a rookie anymore.

Since the people of Tianrui Lifeng admire the use of force, if you pretend to be a vegetable, they will probably look down on you.

"I'm Xu Le. You're the female mercenary who sat with Wang Shu this morning, right?"

"Mr. Xu Le has a good memory."

"I've been looking for Wang Shu. Have you informed him?"

At this time, Xu Le walked to a chair beside him and sat down slowly, maintaining a state of "I am sitting but you are standing".

This made Gusini feel a little uncomfortable.

"Wang Shu is one of our Black Spiders. Since I am protecting him, I will naturally inquire about his affairs.

What does Mr. Xu Le want to talk to Wang Shu about?"

"You're protecting him? Oh, oh, sorry, I shouldn't laugh."

Xu Le chuckled, and although he apologized afterwards, that kind of contempt still made Ge Sini feel very uncomfortable.

Of course, Xu Le did this on purpose. The aura of Ge Sini in front of him was not strong enough, even weaker than Xu Ting.

He was almost certain to handle the situation, so how should he teach this somewhat reckless female mercenary a lesson

"why are you laughing?"

"Nothing, I just think you don't know Wang Shu well enough, so you say such irrelevant things."

When Ge Sini heard Xu Le mention Wang Shu, her expression became subdued again.

"From your tone, it seems like you know Wang Shu very well. Who is he? Can you tell me about him?"

It was a clumsy way of provoking someone, but Xu Le had no intention of hiding anything and said directly:

"Wang Shu is a very, very strong... lighthouse keeper."

Ge Sini was stunned for a moment. Her first reaction was that it was impossible. If Wang Shu was a lighthouse keeper, how could he have ended up in such a state and be so poor

But Xu Le didn't look like he was joking.

"How do you know he's the lighthouse keeper?"

"Because, I am also a night watchman!"

Ge Sini was dazed for a moment, and Xu Le suddenly stood up from his chair.

Before Gu Sini could react, his palm had already pressed on her wrist.

The electric current penetrated Gusni's weak defense, and the mental energy invaded Gusni's mind along the electric current.

The intense fear instantly broke through Gusni's defenses.

When she looked at Xu Le, she had already begun to tremble unnaturally, and even her knees began to turn inward.

This is a sign of extreme fear and the desire to retreat and escape.

Gu Sini's mental energy level had already exceeded the critical value, and she didn't quite understand why she was so scared.

She was just touched by Xu Le, but she had never felt that suffocating feeling even when facing the ancient Yinduo polluter.

Just when Gu Sini was in despair, a slightly rough big hand pulled her back.

The owner of the hand was none other than Wang Shu, who was wearing a cloak!

Wang Shu pulled Ge Sini behind him and gave her a warm and generous back.

Ge Sini couldn't help but put her face close to him, and even subconsciously hugged Wang Shu's waist.

Wang Shu and Xu Le exchanged glances, meaning to ask:

"You're messing with the hammer?"

Xu Le's answer was also very simple:

"I'm helping you to open up wasteland!"

Wang Shu was speechless. Although Xu Le's behavior was inappropriate, he knew it when he saw Ge Sini's frightened look.

This woman will be very dependent on him for a long time in the future, and Xu Le has achieved his goal.

But he still couldn't help but complain:

"Despicable Red Moon Warlock."

"Tsk, a crude warrior."
