If running away was just a thought just now, then after hearing this shout, I had a complete reason to run away.
"My elder brother is calling me, so I have to go. It's my duty, okay..."
He looked at the Soul Tree at his feet with some regret.
Leaving such a soul tree that has not grown here without the help of myself and the Night Demon.
There is a high probability that it will be destroyed by the monster rushing over.
Even if he managed to survive, he would be discovered by the gang members of Tianrui Lifeng who were cleaning up the battlefield.
As for what would happen after being discovered, that was beyond Xu Le's ability to predict.
It shouldn't be a bad situation anyway.
"Perhaps the corpse here can prompt the tree to produce another fruit, and then some lucky person will find it and eat it recklessly.
And then… I can’t seem to make it up anymore.”
The monster in front of him was getting closer and closer. Xu Le tightened the black gun in his hand and opened the dark vortex.
"Goodbye!"
Arriving at the dark place they had not been to for a long time, the night demons knelt down in unison.
This situation made Xu Le feel a little embarrassed.
It was one thing outside, but it was another thing entirely inside the dark land.
After all, this is the big brother's territory, and as a younger brother, I cannot cross it. What's more, Ye Sha's strength is no joke.
According to Chi Xiao’s previous attitude and level of vigilance towards the puppet.
Ye Fury is at least one level stronger than Chi Xiao.
Here, he is the honest man Xu Le.
"Hello brothers, you have worked hard, I will go to visit my eldest brother first, you guys are busy!"
Xu Le had an awkward chat with these night demons, not caring whether they could understand him or not, he just spoke first out of respect.
If you think about it carefully, they should be able to understand.
Just like during the Black Tide, the Night Demon was able to understand his orders.
When walking among the night demons, they will spontaneously make way for Xu Le.
Halfway through the walk, Xu Le suddenly realized that he had not turned on the flashlight in advance this time...
Oh, no, it should be that the black stick in my hand was not lit.
He suddenly had the ability of night vision
It doesn't seem so. This ability to see clearly in the darkness seems to only appear when you are here.
When the black tide covered the sky with dark clouds, he did not have night vision and needed the illumination of thunder to see.
It is obviously different from the current situation.
"Forget it, there's no point in studying these things. After all, this is not my place."
He walked to where the fire was and it seemed that the Night Fury had been waiting there for a long time.
In the past, her eyes were always on the fire, but this time she was looking at Xu Le as he came over.
"You haven't been here for a long time."
"Well, I've been quite busy recently. Also, I was assassinated last time and moved around a lot. I haven't settled down until recently, so I haven't come here..."
Xu Le was a little worried that his explanation was useless, and he secretly glanced at Ye Fury.
However, Ye Fury didn't seem to have any intention of pursuing the responsibility and just nodded slightly.
"Being assassinated? As your power and status increase, unless you hide yourself perfectly, this kind of thing will only happen more and more."
"Indeed."
Ye Fu looked Xu Le up and down:
"As long as everyone is okay, I'm glad."
Xu Le was in a good mood after receiving a little care from his elder brother.
"Thank you for your concern, Lord Ye Fury. Is there something you want to ask me this time?"
Ye Fury had already retracted her gaze, and her eyes were once again fixed on the flickering flames.
"There are indeed some things I need your help with."
"It's my duty." Xu Le responded immediately.
He knew very well that with Night Fury's strength, the things he was asked to help with should not require fighting.
In addition, Ye Sha usually takes good care of him, so it is natural for him to show his loyalty at this time.
"Sir, please tell me what you want to do. I am just a little lacking in ability, so..."
"Don't worry, although your combat power is relatively weak, so I don't plan to let you participate in any combat operations.
This time, I want to ask you to deal with the bugs that fell during the Red Moon Calamity."
When Xu Le heard Ye Sha mention insects, his heart suddenly trembled.
"Has Lord Night Fury noticed it too?"
"Well, you should know that those bugs are from the outside world."
"Yes, I understand."
“The Red Moon is also an invader from the outside world, although it has been hovering in this world for many years, with many names and many disguises.
But in essence, nothing has changed. Red Moon has invaded this world and caused war. So for Deep Blue, outside invaders are the most dangerous species.
These bugs suddenly appeared in the Red Moon Tribulation. I felt that they were summoned or lured by some force.
Just research this matter in your city and tell me the details."
Night Fury rarely spoke so many words at once, and never issued any orders or tasks.
Now that there was such a small task, Xu Le naturally nodded in agreement.
"No problem. Any time requirements?"
"Before the next Kuroshio, I don't have any other requests. It doesn't matter if you can't complete it. It's more important to protect yourself."
Ye Fu's exhortation warmed Xu Le's heart.
The boss’s attention is definitely different, because under normal circumstances, there is no need for the boss to pay attention to you.
If you die, you die, and it won't have much impact on the boss.
So in this situation, being noticed by the elders is really a gratifying thing, and it can be regarded as a reflection of self-worth.
"Don't worry, Master Night Fury. It's not easy to get a mission, and I will definitely do it well."
"Just do your best."
"Anything else, Lord Night Fury?"
"Have you prepared a new story? You haven't been here for a long time, so..."
As Ye Sha spoke, he actually looked at Xu Le hesitantly, like a child who was worried that others would not tell her stories.
A man like Xu Le hates to see others looking at him like this.
"Of course, every time I come here, I prepare a complete story."
"That's great. Each of your stories will make it more fulfilling."
"Master Night Fury, that's too kind of you. My stories are just ordinary ones."
"No, your story is different from others. No, I haven't summoned anyone else in a long, long time."
Seeing Ye Sha's face full of reminiscence, Xu Le was also slightly stunned.
It’s been a long time since you summoned anyone else
Exclusive favorite
Well, if you think about it carefully, summoning is not a word like pampering at all.
The former Night Fury had told him personally that he had eaten many warlocks...
Eat... ugh.
"It seems that Lord Night Fury likes my story. It's my honor."
"Yes, I like it very much. What is today's story?"
"Well, can Lord Night Fury accept tragedy?"
"tragedy?"
"It's death and unsatisfactory endings."
"Shouldn't death be the final destination of everything? For me, death should be the ultimate perfection."
"Well, if that's the understanding, then I think Lord Night Fury would like this story."
"Well, let's get started."
"This story is called "Cyberpunk - Edgewalker". The story begins with a student named David Martinez..."
Xu Le likes this story very much, and he also likes its ending, so he also hopes that Ye Fury will like this story.
He said seriously, and the Night Fury listened carefully.
It is indeed a very harmonious atmosphere, just like a teacher telling a story to students.
Ye Fury rarely interrupted Xu Le when he was telling a story. Even if he had a lot of questions, he would not interrupt him, even though she was very curious.
Xu Le felt that this wasn't because Night Fury was very polite or something like that, she definitely wasn't going to learn manners.
Xu Lecai said, she just didn't want the story to be interrupted.
"After David died, Lucy went to the moon alone and... saw the sun on the moon."
At this point, the story of the Edgewalker has come to an end, and the Night Fury thought about the story for a moment before nodding slightly.
"These people... feel like the Tianrui Lifeng mercenaries in your human world. They have no choice."
"Yes, the struggles of the little people are really cruel. They don't have any good choices from beginning to end."
The Night Fury began to think again, and her eyes blinked a few times.
It is hard to imagine that this little girl next door would be one of the rulers of the ancient Yinduo world, the source of darkness, the Night Fury.
Ye Fury thought for a long time. It seemed that there was still something about this story that made her think about it.
“You seem to have given me a different perspective.”
"Why do you say that?"
"I would not have interpreted the world from this perspective before. After hearing this story, I feel that ordinary people are not so ignorant after all."
“Yes, a lot of times, they have no choice.”
"For your own dream?"
"Yes, for my own dreams and the dreams of my loved ones, if I can achieve them, even if my life is very short, it will be a fulfillment."
This is a touching story. Although many people say it is regrettable, it has a strong aftereffect.
But Xu Le himself felt that the story should end here.
Although the ending is full of sadness, there is not a single regret.
"You like this story?"
"Yes, I like it very much, so I shared it with Lord Night Fury."
"What do you like in it?"
"Finish it. Although David had no choice from the very beginning, he completed what he wanted to do. This is what makes me most gratified."
"Do you have similar thoughts?"
"No, at least not yet." Xu Le denied this statement.
Ye Sha was slightly surprised, she thought Xu Le would also want to be such a tragic character.
“Because I can see hope, this is what makes me different from the protagonist of the story.
He had no choice but to make this choice because he saw no hope at all.
And I... am full of hope. The road ahead is still bright. I may be able to reach the highest point in this world, under the witness of Lord Night Fury."
When Xu Le said these words, there was even some light on his face.
These lights illuminate the dark places and also illuminate the Night Furies.
She had never thought that she would be touched like this by a human being.
"Climb to the highest point in the world under my witness?"
“There’s a chance.”
"You do have such an opportunity, under my witness..."
"Yes."
"So... did Lucy die in the end?"
"Why do you think so, Lord Night Fury?"
In the past, Xu Le might have been confused, but not now.
Although Night Fury looks a little stupid, she is actually very good at paying attention to details. Lucy's ending has actually been mentioned in the details of the story.
“At the beginning of the story, Lucy herself said that humans could not withstand the sun’s rays on the moon.
And at the end of the story, Lucy saw the sun, she saw the sun on the moon.”
"Master Night Fury is really perceptive..."
"Besides that, I remember you mentioned at the beginning of the story that a woman died on the moon. What kind of woman would die on the moon? This is easy to associate with."
"That's true. That's how I understand it."
"It's a rather sad ending indeed."
"Master Night Fury, don't you like this story?"
"No, I still like you very much. I always thought you should be a very happy person, but why do you always tell such sad stories?"
Ye Fury's question made Xu Le hesitate for a moment.
Maybe he wasn't happy enough before.
"There weren't so many happy things before, and things have only gradually gotten better in the past two years."
"That's good. A heavy psychological burden will slow down your growth, which is not good."
"clear."
Xu Le has been here for a long time, and now it is time to leave.
But before leaving, he still had some questions he wanted to ask Ye Fury.
"Master Ye Fu, during the Red Moon Calamity, I used trees and strange corpses to create two fruits..."
Seeing Xu Le hesitant to speak, Ye Sha shook his head slightly and added some firewood to the fire.
“Those are your abilities and a reflection of your uniqueness.”
"What's up with those night demons?" Xu Le said this, actually he was a little bit questioning the meaning of the night demons.
But Ye Fu was not angry about this, he just said calmly:
"You are the one I like."
After hearing these words, all my previous doubts disappeared.
Is this necessary? For Xu Le, it is necessary.
"Mr. Ye Fu's attitude makes me feel that you might..."
"Death is the destination, but I don't die that easily."
The conversation between the two sides led to silence. Xu Le felt that he had said something wrong, so he changed the subject:
“I seem to be unable to control the growth trajectory of the fruits, and those two fruits eventually turned into Night Demon Fruits.
I had envisioned them growing into something more unique.”
"That's because you don't have the will to create everything. You can only rely on darkness, so the fruit you create can only be the Night Demon Fruit."
"The will that created everything? The Creator?"
"It's not that scary, nor is it that great. Even if it's the mother tree, it can't be called the creator."
"Understood."
"Actually... you can try to let it grow freely."
"What's the meaning?"
“Nature is the true creator.”
