When Xu Le saw Ai Li appear, except for the initial surprise, he immediately suppressed all his emotional fluctuations.
Let yourself enter a calm state.
The ethereal state has been activated at the same time, and he needs to deal with many thoughts.
I had clearly been wandering around the city for quite a while, and I had confirmed repeatedly that there was no one behind me before coming here.
How did she keep up
And this little navy caterpillar. Even the level 4 golden toad is very respectful to it. Its strength must be very powerful.
Maybe it's not as outrageous as the Night Fury puppet, but it should definitely be a local elder who deserves to be worshipped.
Didn't it notice Rewi Alley's peeping
And why didn't it leave after Rewi Alley appeared? The water vapor had been condensing for a long time, right
Was it intentional? Yes, it was intentional.
Oh no!
"Why is Miss Ai Li here? Are you following me?" Xu Le asked calmly.
He immediately realized his mistake, because his mood was not as calm as he appeared, so he accidentally called "Miss" instead of "Madam".
And Ai Li's eyes flickered slightly.
She didn't know how Xu Le managed to calm down so quickly, but she felt that the hairs on her body stood up when she first appeared.
That's a dangerous feeling.
For a very brief moment, Xu Le developed hostility towards her, and even murderous intent.
This moment is very short, 0.5 seconds? Or 0.2 seconds
In short, it must have appeared, but he controlled it through some means.
Ai Li hesitated for a moment and nodded:
"I came here because I was worried that you might have problems. I saw you vomiting blood just now, so... I know I may have disturbed you, I'm sorry."
At this time, the look in the eyes of the Water Lord Qinglong also became subtle. It glanced at Xu Le and Ai Li with an inexplicable look, and then said to the Golden Toad beside it:
"Golden Toad, I'm leaving."
Jin Chan glanced at Shui Jun and was a little surprised. "You can just leave if you want to? Do you need to say hello to me? It feels weird."
But it was still very sensible and lay on the ground with its whole body prostrated.
"Farewell, my Lord."
The water vapor became thicker and thicker, and Qinglong gradually dissipated into the air. Without Qinglong, Xu Le's pressure was slightly reduced.
When he turned around and wanted to talk to Ai Li, Jin Chan suddenly touched him and asked Xu Le a slightly strange question:
"Where is the tribute you promised me? Are you going to go back on your word?"
Xu Le was stunned for a moment. When did he promise to pay tribute? He had never mentioned this matter before.
Then Xu Le slapped his head and said with a smile:
"Look at my brain, I forgot. I was just too excited about your promotion. I'll give it to you when I get back. Brother Gua, thank you. I'll give you what I promised you."
"Just don't forget it."
Xu Le narrowed his eyes and felt the still damp moisture around him.
Suicune didn't leave. Was it waiting for a conflict between itself and Ai Li
The power of the ancient gods is very special. They desire Gu Yinduo, but are afraid of Gu Yinduo's power
This water army is not good! I must bring Toad to change jobs in the future.
After a moment of silence, Xu Le turned to Rei and said:
"Didn't Ms. Alley drive over?"
"Well, I followed you here by running."
Xu Le:
running
"Then get in my car, if you don't mind it being dirty."
Ai Li glanced at the tricycle and nodded:
"It doesn't matter. I can fight in any environment."
Xu Le didn't waste any time and just got on the tricycle and started the engine.
Boom!
The roar of the steam engine startled the wild beasts nearby. Now it was pitch black around, and Xu Le decided to move as he couldn't figure out the details of this navy.
The tricycle drove away from the worship site in a flash, and the golden toad had already turned into white smoke and left.
It is an ancient god, not an ancient sound.
If a frog stays in the dark, it will be attacked by other ancient monsters. When the night demon refreshes, it will not ask what kind of creature you are.
But except for the initial period, Xu Le drove very slowly for the following period of time.
Ai Li held the basket with one hand and looked at Xu Le. She knew very well that under normal circumstances, Xu Le would not have to drive so slowly.
Her intuition told her that Xu Le had something to say.
Bang! The tricycle suddenly stopped.
Xu Le scratched his head and said:
"Hey, the tricycle seems to be broken, let me take a look."
I don’t know if there were dark clouds in the sky at this time, and the moonlight disappeared quietly, adding a strange meaning to the atmosphere.
There was only the light of the tricycle in the darkness.
Xu Le knew that if it weren't for the tricycle's headlights, the darkness around him would probably have dropped to around 1.
There was a strange silence between Xu Le and Ai Li. Ai Li was waiting for Xu Le to speak, but Xu Le didn't know what he was thinking.
Because the car was not started, after waiting for a while, the headlights became dimmer.
It seemed that they could no longer wait in the dark, and finally it was Ai Li who spoke first:
"Were you worshipping the ancient gods before? I saw you vomiting blood and thought you were injured, so... I'm sorry, Xu Le."
"Just now there was only some moonlight and the lights of the tricycle, but it was still quite dark overall. Ms. Ai Li was able to see so clearly outside my perception range. She has really good eyesight."
Xu Le rubbed the golden toad mark on his hand, and he was also thinking about what to do next.
The branch of Gu Yin Duo Shi was extending from behind her. Although it was blocked by her clothes, she could clearly see the scene of herself vomiting blood just now, so she definitely saw the shape of the branch clearly.
The Ancient Yinduo Tree is not a particularly rare product. A level 4 warrior can find one if he has participated in outdoor missions.
Everyone should have seen the Ancient Sound Tree at some point.
The blue branches and leaves are too conspicuous in the darkness.
Betting on the probability that Rewi Alley doesn't know the Ancient Sound Tree is probably the same as trying to cover up one's own faults
So, let’s do it
Judging from Ai Li's attitude, it is not the reason why Xu Le has not taken action until now and has restrained his murderous intentions.
To put it another way, if we take action now, can we win
Your own combat power is yourself + Golden Toad + summoned level 3 Witch Cicada, plus at most one unstable Slave of Fate.
Regardless of whether it is a sure win or not, the woman in front of me can run as fast as a tricycle on foot...
If she is determined to run away, can they catch up with her
The closer it gets to this point, the less we should panic.
Xu Le felt that he had to steady her first.
stable!
When Ai Li saw that Xu Le had been silent, she felt a little confused. Xu Le played a very important role.
At least in terms of the tomb mission, Zhang Nuoan can't do without Xu Le now.
If Xu Le really broke up with them, Zhang Nuoan would be very disappointed.
"Xu Le, are you okay? I really didn't mean what I did just now. I'm really sorry if I offended you."
Xu Le waved his hand at this time:
"No, no, no, Ms. Ai Li, you don't have to say that. You are thinking about me, so how could I blame you
Oh, by the way, I want to ask, what did Ms. Rewi Alley see just now? Be more specific. "
Ai Li's night vision allowed her to see the situation clearly, and her powerful hearing also allowed her to hear clearly the process of Xu Le offering sacrifices to the Azure Dragon and the conversation between him and the Azure Dragon.
Of course, there is also the scene where Xu Le takes out the Guyinduo fruit from behind!
That blue branch does look very much like Gu Yinduo's branch.
Is it a forbidden warlock ability, or the effect of some ancient sound fruit? Although there are many speculations, Ai Li still doesn't think too far.
A human being can produce ancient sound fruit by himself? Normal people would not think in this direction.
She felt that the fruit Xu Le had prepared for her as an offering.
"I saw the whole process of you and the big toad offering sacrifices."
"Miss Ai Li has good eyesight, right?"
Ai Li knew what Xu Le meant by asking this, but she still answered truthfully:
"Yes, very good."
Good! Quite honest, Xu Le rubbed his temple.
"Then you should have seen that branch, right?"
After Xu Le asked this question, his eyes became sharp.
This was the only thing Xu Le really cared about. Other things like trading with ancient gods and using forbidden powers were not a big deal.
In this day and age, if you don't use forbidden powers, are you still a qualified warlock
So he really wanted to know what Ai Li's next answer would be.
If Ai Li had any mental fluctuations, it would mean that she had some guesses about the matter. If not, that would be a better situation.
And Ai Li also noticed the subtle change in Xu Le's attitude.
Xu Le hid it very well. He did not show any emotion, and his tone and speaking speed did not change at all.
But her intuition was too sharp, and this issue should be one that Xu Le cared about very much.
Ai Li thought for a while and asked seriously:
"Xu Le, that branch... are you borrowing the forbidden power of Gu Yinduo?"
Xu Le:
Borrow? Does she look down on me? Gu Yinduo's forbidden power is just a bastard, mine is authentic...
It's good that Ai Li's mental energy doesn't fluctuate.
Although she is very strong, she is still a crude warrior who knows nothing.
"You are right." Xu Le nodded several times.
"Zhang Nuoan said that the forbidden power of Gu Yinduo is a very dangerous thing. It is best not to touch it. After all, this is Zion, and most people don't like Gu Yinduo."
Xu Le was slightly stunned. Although the conversation did not develop in the direction he expected, it did not seem to be getting worse.
Should I follow Ai Li's advice now or argue with her
Xu Le thought about it for a while and had a clear answer in his mind.
Refute and shift the focus of the issue.
"But you should also know that Zion itself is also studying ancient Yinduo, such as succubus, right? Who is the researcher? Is it Zhang Nuoan who told you that studying ancient Yinduo is dangerous
Ghosts are crying out to catch ghosts, thieves are crying out to catch thieves, many people are studying taboos, and I am one of them.
In fact, if you put me among most warlocks, you will find that there is no obvious difference between me and them."
After hearing what Xu Le said, Ai Li shook her head slightly. She did not follow Xu Le's lead and continued to lead the topic to Xu Le:
"It's different. You're only 20 years old, right? I know that you dealt with the succubus that appeared before.
Don't worry, I know you want to hide, so I didn't expose you.
At such a young age, he already has outstanding ancient knowledge and extremely high fighting ability.
Your potential is more than that. If you develop well, you will become a master of ancient studies in Zion in the future, and even the backbone of Zion.
You are alone and cannot provide adequate protection. Things like Guyinduo do not have adequate safety protection and will be contaminated sooner or later.
So... stop it, Xu Le."
Although Xu Le was somewhat pleased by Ai Li's flattery, the problem now was that it was the Ancient Sound Branch of Multi-Fruity, which she probably didn't recognize.
But Xu Le knew that he couldn't continue arguing with her now.
If she continued to argue, she would report herself. She did not understand the significance of the Ancient Sound and Fruitful Branch, but there must be a powerful sorcerer who would understand.
At this time, the hair should be stroked smoothly.
"What you said... does make sense. Let me think about it."
Seeing that Xu Le was willing to follow her advice, Ai Li smiled sincerely. This was her second time smiling.
"I really hope you can make changes. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me and I will do my best to help you."
"Well, okay, can you keep it a secret for me about the taboos of my research on ancient music? Especially don't tell Mr. Zhang Nuoan..."
When Zhang Nuoan was mentioned again, Ai Li's eyes became a little dim. She nodded and said:
"Don't worry, he doesn't even know about you and Li Qingcheng."
"Thank you, Ms. Ai Li."
"You are welcome."
This was the first time Xu Le heard Ai Li say you're welcome, and her attitude at this time was undoubtedly much better than last time.
Xu Le was still very worried about Rewi Alley.
But her identity and power status are a bit too high for me.
If you want to counter it, you have to brainwash her to reduce her danger.
However, you also need to have a certain understanding of her strength. If it really doesn't work, you should take action when the time is right.
So, let’s start with capabilities.
"Oh, by the way, how did Ms. Ai Li track me down? I was wandering around the city for quite a while before I came out."
Xu Le said this with a smile, but Ai Li hesitated for a moment after hearing it.
In the extraordinary world, you should not reveal too much of your abilities under any circumstances.
This is true for sorcerers and warriors alike.
Ai Li stared at Xu Le for a while, and suddenly asked:
"Are you worried that I will expose your abilities? Do you want to know some of my secrets as a countermeasure?"
Xu Le's head twitched. How could this woman be so smart? Did she guess it
"Well, it's okay if you don't tell me."
“It’s okay to tell you. I was your bodyguard in the mission at Joshua’s Tomb, and Zhang Nuoan also told me to protect you well.
So you can feel more at ease knowing my ability. I track you by scent."
"Smell? Have you ever eaten the Guyinduo fruit?"
"yes."
"What kind of fruit?"
"Intermediate creature - Moon Dog."
It's actually a dog...
Xu Le nodded. Judging from the strength that Ai Li had shown before, killing a level 3 succubus would be as easy as killing a chicken.
The upper limit of her strength is definitely much stronger than Bai Jing.
During the battle with the succubus, he was able to catch the succubus in the ghost fog state with his bare hands, which is an ability almost like a magic technique.
Can the biological fruit's effect on a warrior be so great
If Tree Brother eats a biological fruit, will it have the same effect
After thinking for a while, Xu Le asked again:
"What kind of dog is Moon Dog?"
"A dog that can use the power of the Moon Spirit. Of course, it may not be as regular as a warlock's ability. The power of the fruit is more instinctive."
Ai Li's description is correct. The ability of the fruit is more instinctive.
"I see. Thank you Ms. Rei for clearing up my confusion. I feel much better now."
The haze dissipated, and the moon in the sky seemed to sense the two people's emotions and reappeared.
Xu Le kicked the tricycle and started it again.
"Hey, guess what, even though I didn't repair the car, it seems to have suddenly gotten better on its own.
Now that the car is ready, let’s go back.”
Alley: …
The acting is shockingly bad.
Ai Li paused for a moment, then suddenly asked:
"Xu Le... You wanted to take action just now, right?"
Xu Le was shocked:
"Ah? No way, how could Ms. Ai Li think so? I never hit a woman."
"Really?"
"It's true at first glance." Xu Le nodded.
Ai Li shook his head slightly and said nothing more until he returned to the city and came to the battlefield area. Then Ai Li whispered:
"You didn't do anything, which was a wise choice."
Xu Le narrowed his eyes. Ai Li was very confident in his own abilities.
If a fight really breaks out...
What was I thinking about? Why was I always thinking about this kind of thing where a level 2 was colliding with a level 4? After all, he was a top-level warrior + a mid-level fruit ability user.
Bai Jing couldn't even kill a level 3 succubus instantly with bare hands.
There is no point in considering such things. Even if he really killed Rewi Alley through some means, Zion would not be able to stay there.
Killing a senior civil servant is not allowed in any city.
This is more serious than the situation where the lighthouse ran away.
Xu Le glanced at the gate of Area 5. Perhaps it was because of the confidence in his own firepower, but on normal days the gate of Zion would not be closed. It seemed as if he was saying, "If you are not afraid of death, just rush over and give it a try."
The airship platform is also open 24 hours a day, which is different from other cities.
However, it is the same as not allowing people to enter the city at night. People returning from outside the city need to wait until tomorrow morning.
There are many large searchlights on top of the Zion Gate in the battlefield plain area, so there is no need to worry about the lighting.
Rewi Alley jumped off the tricycle:
"Just rest here. You will be allowed to enter after inspection after 5:30 tomorrow morning."
"knew."
"So do you need to rest? I'm a warrior and can help you keep watch."
"No."
Xu Le started to take off his clothes. Ai Li frowned slightly:
"What are you going to do?"
"Can you please turn around? I need to take off my pants."
Ai Li looked at Xu Le for a while, and after confirming that Xu Le really wanted to take off his pants, she turned around decisively.
Xu Le didn't waste any time. After Ai Li turned around, he quickly took off his pants, but of course he didn't take off his underwear.
He took out moonstone powder and a small bottle of black sheep's blood, drank the sheep's blood, and then smeared the moonstone powder on his body.
After putting on his pants, Xu Le drew Mu Yue's curse seal on the ground.
Then he sat cross-legged, facing the moonlight, and began the moon-bathing body training.
The Mu Yue training method is a proper Red Moon ritual. Even Ai Li could not find fault with it, so Xu Le felt at ease using it.
This should be the training method that warriors want but cannot use, after all, warriors do not have spiritual powers.
What a pitiful thing such a crude warrior is!
However, when Ai Li saw that Xu Le could actually absorb the free energy in the moonlight to strengthen his body through this ritual, his expression was very surprised.
"Red Moon's training ritual?"
"Well, yes." Xu Le raised his head.
"This ritual is very similar to my ability."
Xu Le:
Ai Li glanced at Xu Le, then she lay on the ground with all four limbs and grew a lot of hair, turning into a moon dog. Then she looked at the moon with her head held high.
Start absorbing the moon spirit.
Xu Le was shocked that Ai Li also had the ability to absorb the Moon Spirit.
Then he stole a glance at the dog's butt and nodded.
"The tail is nice and the pants are good quality too."
