I pretended to sigh, and said: "Last time in the battle with the monsters and beasts, although I broke out of the siege, I also ran into the border of the orc kingdom, because their army blocked the way back to the fortress. Lu, for the sake of safety, I could only carefully enter the land of the orcs, lurking in the forest, and relying on hunting small animals to survive. It was not until a few days ago that their troops were repulsed by us that I found a chance to sneak back. Because in I was injured in that battle. After I came back, I spent a period of time recuperating in the city near the Fortress of Stru. I didn’t return to the imperial capital until the injury was completely healed. I also came back a few days ago. Due to leaving the academy It's been too long, and I thought that my student status might have been removed, so I didn't go back. In order not to worry about Zixue, I wanted to visit her."
The Duke said coldly: "Who are you lying to? If you want to see Zixue, won't you ask to see him through the gate? If you insist on jumping over the wall, breaking into a house at night is not rape or robbery. What is your purpose?"
I smiled wryly and said, "What purpose can I have? Besides meeting Zixue, I have one more thing to tell you this time."
The Duke said, "Oh? What's the matter?"
I whispered: "Do you still remember the woman I told you about last time? I saw her again in the Beastman Country this time. I knew you didn't want others to know about her, so I broke through the wall. .”
As soon as the mother was mentioned, the Duke's attitude suddenly turned 180 degrees. He eagerly grabbed my shoulder and said, "What? You saw her again. Quick, tell me how she is? Have you heard of her?" Tell her about me."
I know that the Duke is sincere to his mother, otherwise, with his sophistication, he would not have shown his inner feelings so easily. I pulled his hand away and said, "Don't worry, listen to me slowly, it's like this , I met that lady in a village of orcs, she looked much better than before, she found her son, and lived with him."
The Duke said in amazement: "Son? She also has a son?"
I nodded and said: "Her son is quite filial to her. Under the good conditioning, the lady's health is much better. I told her about seeing you, and she was as excited as you. I see , she has always missed you."
Tears appeared in the Duke's eyes, and he murmured: "Lingling, Lingling, I really miss you." He grabbed me again and said excitedly: "Tell me, where is she, take me to find her , I'm going to find her now."
"Calm down, don't be so impulsive, listen to me, okay?"
The Duke said anxiously: "How calm do you make me be? I finally got news about her again. I am really eager to see her now."
I said sternly: "Don't forget, you are the Duke of the Dragon God Empire, and she is now in the orc kingdom. If you appear in the orc land, you should know the consequences better than me. Don't worry about this matter, I will I once asked that lady if she wanted to see you again." At this point, I paused.
The Duke asked, "Then how will she answer?"
I sighed, and said: "She said she didn't want to see you anymore, she said she had no face to see you, and she didn't want to cause you any trouble. Let me tell you, so that you forget about her, as if she never appeared over her."
The blood on the Duke's face faded, and he seemed to be a few years older in an instant. He took two steps back and said tremblingly, "Why? Why do you want me to forget you, Lingling, do you think I can forget you in this life?"
I said flatly, "Don't you care about her past?"
The Duke shook his head and said: "Of course I don't care, that's not what she wanted. She is a weak woman with no strength to restrain a chicken. It is not easy to survive in the beastman country until now. I can forgive all the pain that happened to her." Understand, in my heart, she will always be the pure and pure Lingling. Come on, tell me, I will go to her now and explain clearly to her, I must take her back to Dragon God, and I will never be separated from her again gone."
I felt relieved, it seems that I made no mistake in deciding to let my mother come back to reunite with the Duke, the Duke is worthy of mother's love, I smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, that lady also very much hopes to return to her motherland, I have already promised her that I will definitely help her come back. It is not easy for you to come forward in such a matter, so it is best for me to do it. I came back this time just to find out the way first. If there is no place on Dragon God's side that can accept her, she will come back It's only more painful, I'm relieved when you say that."
The Duke was stunned: "Do you have a way to bring her back?"
I nodded and said, "I've been living with the orcs for a few days this time, and I've already found the way back. I'll go back and pick her up after I deal with some things here. Do you know what that lady's greatest wish is?" ?”
The Duke shook his head blankly.
I said in a deep voice, "That lady's greatest wish is to return to her homeland and hide in a corner to secretly watch you."
The Duke lost his voice and said: "What?" He couldn't control his tears anymore, and said sadly: "Lingling, why are you so stupid, don't worry, I will definitely give you the greatest happiness, and I will never see you again. I will be separated from you again."
I looked at the tearful Duke and said in a low voice: "If you treat that lady like this, what will the Duchess do?" I must ask this question, and I must make the best preparations for my mother.
Hearing my question, the Duke was obviously taken aback, and said in a daze, "Madam? What should I do?"
I smiled slightly and said, "I've already thought about it for you. With your strength, you should be able to buy a small courtyard casually."
The Duke suddenly said: "You let me hide my beauty in a golden house, how can this work, Lingling is too wronged."
I shook my head and said, "That madam has no desires and desires now, and she absolutely does not want to disturb your current life, so this is the best way."
The Duke stared at me carefully, with a strange look in his eyes, "Why do you help me like this?"
I sighed softly and said: "First of all, I hope that you and that madam can finally get married as lovers. Secondly, I also have selfish intentions. I have helped you so much, and you will never object to my relationship with Zixue again. It’s okay.” Actually, it’s more because of my mother now, I still don’t know what happened to Zixue sisters, the possibility that they won’t forgive me is very high.
The Duke's excitement calmed down, he wiped away the tears on his face with his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Yes, you have helped me so much, I really can't stop you and Zixue, as long as she is willing, I am very much in favor of you being together. What are your plans now."
His last question was obviously asking me when to pick up his mother, I smiled and said: "I want to go to Zixue first, can you tell me her whereabouts?"
The Duke said: "Of course, she, her sister and some classmates represented Tiandu College to participate in the friendship exchange of the Dragon God's Four Great Academies. You will definitely find them at the Siren College in Siren City. They have gone for a long time. It’s not long, the exchange match should start the day after tomorrow. It takes three days from here to Xilun City.”
I nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Excellency Duke, then I will set off now. The next time I see you, I will definitely bring that lady with me."
The Duke smiled and said, "Thank you very much then, don't be in a hurry, you must pay attention to safety, you, you can say hello to her for me, and say that I miss her all the time, no matter what happens , I will always..." The Duke blushed, but his eyes showed a firm look, and he continued: "Love her forever."
I was moved in my heart, smiled slightly, and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely bring her back to see you safely, and you should also pay attention to your health. I will leave."
The Duke himself sent me to the gate of the house and watched me disappear into the dark night.
Knowing the whereabouts of Zixue and the others, I feel much relieved. How should I go to Xilun City? I opened the map I carried with me, and it showed that Xilun City is in the south of the imperial capital. This is good, it is farther away from Baiyan Mountain. If the Beast Emperor knows my current actions, he will definitely say that I don’t distinguish between public and private. However, anyway, the so-called multi-colored glow is something illusory, so let's ignore it for the time being. It's not so easy for the people of Dragon God to find such treasures. It's better to go and explain clearly to Zixue and the others while the belief is firm.
After leaving the imperial capital, I found a place where no one was around, transformed into a four-winged fallen angel, flew up quietly, and headed towards Siren at full speed. While flying, I thought to myself, if I had always stayed behind If I'm in Tiandu Academy, maybe I will have my share in this competition. I'm not worried about Zi Yan's safety at all. Although she will play in the exchange competition, but with her appearance and the sacred aura she exudes, no man can think of hurting her.
The cool breeze in the air makes me feel refreshed, the dark magic power in my body is running slowly, and the energy in my body is always at its peak. At this speed, we can almost reach our destination tomorrow morning.
Just when I felt that I was powerful, suddenly, a strange energy rushed into my brain, my eyes became dark, and the breath of death enveloped my whole body in an instant, and I felt unspeakably uncomfortable. Surprised, he hurriedly used his dark magic power to expel this energy, but after encountering this energy, the dark magic power did not repel them, and flowed through the meridians as usual when practicing.
There was a needle-like pain in my brain, and I broke out in a cold sweat from the pain. I suddenly realized that this should be the death energy that my father said remained in my body. I didn't dare to be negligent, and carefully controlled the four wings to slowly land on the ground. The breath of death kept attacking my senses, and a sense of powerlessness that I had never felt spread all over my body.
The dark energy is my greatest strength, I can't even do anything about it, I can barely bear it, a faint gray gas is exuding around my body, I can feel it is constantly eroding my meridians. No, if this continues, I will be corroded by it.
Since I transformed into a four-winged fallen angel, the Lingtai has always been extremely calm. I found that the dark magic power seems to have a mutual effect on this terrible death breath, so I quickly dispersed the dark magic power. Without the dark magic power, my The body returned to its original state, and the feeling of powerlessness became stronger, but the speed at which the breath of death spread also slowed down.
Since the dark magic power is not good enough, then I will try it with Mad God Dou Qi. I gritted my teeth to control my consciousness, and urged the pure Mad God Dou Qi in my dantian to slowly rise, trying to use them to stop the spreading death breath. When they meet each other, the breath of death seems to be a little afraid of the mad god's fighting spirit, and I shrink back. In the corner, when I was about to destroy it with Mad God Dou Qi, the gray energy suddenly disappeared without a trace, no matter how hard I searched, I couldn't find their existence. As they disappeared, my body returned to normal, and the sense of powerlessness disappeared. This energy came and went quickly, but it made me feel extremely heavy, because I understand that I have not eliminated them, God knows When will it happen next time.
I sat on the ground stunned, feeling extremely hesitant about my own destiny for a moment. If this death energy keeps getting stronger, they will destroy me one day. No wonder my father said that necromancers are terrible. It seems that the harm done to me by the taboo technique will accompany me for the rest of my life. Gradually regaining my senses, I felt that my whole body was soaked in sweat, and it was so greasy and uncomfortable. When I was slumping, I heard the crisp sound of horseshoes in my ears. I was moving forward at high speed in the direction, and the voice gradually became clearer. With my extraordinary eyesight, I saw a group of human beings in various costumes charging towards me on steeds.
It's getting closer, I can see clearly, there are eleven riders in total, most of them are young people, only two middle-aged people over forty years old, they are wearing warrior or magician costumes, I struggle to stand up , wanting to make way for them, at this time, the other party also found me. The leading middle-aged man slowed down the speed of the horse and raised his hand to signal to his companions that there was something wrong.
When he came close, he reined in the maroon horse that was sitting down, looked me up and down, and saw the muscles as strong as steel on my upper body (I flew with my upper body naked, otherwise, it would be impossible to damage one piece of clothing at a time. Well, the vest that Zi Yan gave me is made of two wings, so it is no longer suitable for transformation.) With Wei An's figure, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he asked in a harmonious voice: "Little brother , What's the matter with you, what are you doing here alone at night?"
I could feel the energy fluctuations emanating from his body. This person's strength is impressive. He replied with a flat expression: "It's quiet at night. I'm practicing here alone."
The middle-aged man looked at the sweat on my body, nodded and said: "This is a barren mountain, let's go back early."
I took out a towel from the package and wiped my body, put on my clothes and said, "I was planning to go to Siren City, but when I came here, I saw that there were no people around and practiced for a while, and then I was on my way."
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Oh, you are also going to Siren City, and so are we. If you don't mind, let's go on the road together. You are walking too slowly. Let us spare a horse for you."
My heart warmed up, and I looked at him. The middle-aged man's eyes revealed sincerity. This man is really enthusiastic, but now I really don't dare to transform into flying and go on my way. I still feel a little terrified when I think about the change that happened just now.
"Is this suitable?"
The middle-aged man said with a smile: "Is there anything appropriate? My students are also young people, and they will not be lonely if they have more companions on the road. Si Yu, you and Lian Lu can ride a horse together. Give it to this little brother."
A girl in a blue magic robe behind responded, jumped off her white horse, and got on the black horse of another girl in a red magic robe. Their magic robes are so loose that I can't see their faces clearly.
I saluted the middle-aged man, "Thank you, uncle."
The middle-aged man said with a smile: "You are welcome, get on the horse, we should hurry."
Riding on the white horse, I miss the black dragon in my heart. I don't know what happened to the black dragon with Mo Yue.
So, I joined this small team of more than ten people. I rarely spoke along the way, but from their conversations, I was surprised to learn that they were teachers and students from Songzhi College, one of the four major colleges that went to Xilun City to participate in exchanges. The middle-aged man who invited me to join was The dean of Songzhi College is called Meng Fei (severe punishment, hard enough, no wonder he is the dean).
"Hey, you don't talk much? What are you doing with this thing?" A young man in a black suit said to me. I wear a hat with a veil.
I said calmly: "There is wind and sand on the road, I'm used to bringing this thing with me."
The boy in black stretched out his hand to me and said, "Let's get to know each other, my name is Feng Duo, and I am a second-year student in the Martial Arts Department of Songzhi College." I held his hand, nodded and said, "My name is Lei Xiang, I'm a homeless person Bar."
A strange smile appeared on Feng Duo's face, and I felt his hands suddenly become hot. It turned out that this kid's grudge is more masculine. I didn't care and let him hold it. The smile on Feng Duo's face gradually disappeared, and he found that no matter how hard he tried, my hand was still neither soft nor hard, neither fighting back nor flinching.
Meng Fa noticed the anomaly on our side, and shouted: "Feng Duo, what are you doing?" Slow down and stand side by side with us.
Feng Duo let go of his hand in embarrassment, and said, "Teacher Meng, it's nothing, I just want to get to know Brother Lei Xiang."
Meng Wu gave him a reproachful look, and just about to say something, Feng Duo rushed to say: "Brother Lei, your sword looks very unique, can you let me see it?"
As soon as I stretched out my hand, I took Mo Ming off and handed it to him. Feng Duo reached out to take it. Unprepared, his hand sank down violently, almost dropping Mo Ming to the ground. He was so frightened that he hastened to grab it firmly. He said with tongue-tied words, "It's so heavy."
Meng Fei was also surprised, so I didn't blame him anymore. I ignored Feng Duo and said to Meng Fei: "Mr. Meng, how do you communicate with each other among the four colleges?"
Meng Fei sighed, and said: "What kind of communication is actually just to compete with each other and compete for fame, to see which college's students are better at martial arts. This invitational competition is held by the four colleges in turn. This time it's Xi Lun's turn. Wherever they are, the exchanges between the four major colleges will be open to the local people to promote martial arts. Our Songzhi College has always been the weakest of the four major colleges. This time, we are just reporting the mentality of making friends through martial arts."
"Oh? A competition? What kind of comparison?"
Meng Fei smiled and said: "You are also a martial artist at first glance. The competition between our four colleges is nothing more than drawing lots first, and dividing them into two sides for the competition. Each side will send out six students, one by one. If you lose, you will go down. If you win Continue until all the students on one side fail. The two colleges that win and lose will take a day off and compete again. Finally, the seats of the colleges are arranged, and each college is allowed to have one or two substitutes, who can change on the spot. You don't know, in order to compete for the name of the No. 1 Dragon God Academy..." He sighed at this point.
I nodded and said, "I hope you can win."
Meng Fa shook his head and said: "The strength of the other three colleges is almost evenly matched, and we are slightly worse. We will definitely be eliminated in the first round. To be honest, as long as the college can produce an outstanding talent, it will occupy a large part of the competition. Big advantages, such as the Upper Realm, Tiandu Academy produced Riva, and he defeated five members of our academy by himself, so we had to abstain from voting. Talents are rare."
"Well, I used to stay in the capital. I heard that Riva has been promoted to Dragon Knight. Without him this time, wouldn't you have more chances?"
Meng Fei said: "It's not that simple. Just think about it. If the academy ranks high, it will naturally attract more talents. Who knows if there will be any powerful newcomers from them this time. Lei Xiang, I see your foundation He has a good background and background, and he is not very old. Are you interested in joining our Songzhi Academy? The teachers in our academy are pretty good."
Halo, he didn't let me go on the road with them because of this. I shook my head and said, "No need, to tell you the truth, I went to Siren City this time to find someone. And I think there is no need for me to go to the academy to study."
Although what I said was very arrogant, Meng Fei didn't feel that I was arrogant, but was taken aback by the domineering aura emanating from me.
Feng Duo curled his lips at the side and said: "Really? Brother Lei, learning is very important to a person. The so-called life is long and learning is old. Our Songzhi College is very good." He handed me a weird Eyes, whispered: "Besides, there are many beauties." Surprisingly, Meng Fei didn't stop him because he said that, as if he didn't hear it.
Feng Duo pointed to Si Yu and Lian Lu who were riding a horse in front, obviously telling me that they are beauties. I am not sensitive to these, I have not dealt with my current relationship problems, let alone find another new love, I am very unfazed by beautiful women and avoid them for fear of being late.
As soon as I stretched out my hand and sucked Mo Ming, the mad spirit burst out, and a fierce aura radiated from my whole body covered Feng Duo. Feng Duo's whole body trembled, and he almost fell off his horse. He tried his best to use his fighting spirit to counter my momentum, his face was pale and he couldn't speak. I smiled in my heart, withdrew my aggressive aura, and said, "Now, do you think I still need to go to your academy?" I don't want them to make unnecessary entanglements in order to let me join Songzhi Academy, and they can only show a little strength Let them get out of trouble.
Feng Duo's whole body lightened, and he was speechless. Meng Wei felt that the energy I emitted was not weaker than his, and he was shocked, "It turns out that little brother Lei is hiding something, I really want to know what it is People can train such an outstanding disciple like you."
I smiled slightly and said, "Excuse me, maybe you will know about it when you arrive in Siren City."
Meng Fei knew that it was hopeless to accept me as a disciple, so he sighed and urged his mount to rush forward.
A coquettish voice came: "What are you crazy about? Do you think our academy is very rare about you? Look at the trick." Lianlu, a fire mage wearing a red magic robe in front, got angry. He swung his staff sideways and threw a string of fireballs at me.
Mengfa shouted: "Lotus dew, no."
This is a third-level magic. Seeing that she can use it so quickly, it is obvious that the magic power is not weak. I chanted the spell silently, and a soft barrier appeared in front of me. The continuous fireball hit my barrier and rippled. A puff of white smoke rose and disappeared.
Si Yu, a water magician riding with her, said in surprise, "Water mirror technique."
I used a second-level defense magic of the water system, but it blocked her third-level attack magic. I was different from each other, and Lianlu, who wanted to make a move when I was tired of stopping her, shouted in a deep voice: "Don't make mistakes, people let you do nothing!" Do you see it?"
Lian Lu said angrily, "I just can't stand his arrogant look."
Am I arrogant? Why didn't I notice it? It seems that I have to pay attention.
I carried Mo Ming on my back, and said in a harmonious voice, "If there was any offense just now, please forgive me."
Lian Lu snorted, and stopped talking, a small disturbance just passed.
Feng Duo said to me in a low voice: "Brother Lei, your kung fu is really good, even that pungent girl is deflated, hehe." It seems that this kid has suffered from lotus dew, otherwise he wouldn't be so gloating.
In order not to make them feel that I was too arrogant, I said lightly: "Kungfu is all practiced, as long as you put in the effort, you will definitely be rewarded."
A strong student who was also lagging behind said: "Effort is important, but comprehension is also indispensable. The faster you comprehend, the faster you will improve. Brother Lei, we are almost the same age, but your kung fu surpasses us. I really admire it." I know his name is Tian Xing, and like me, he rarely speaks, but I can see that among these students, his kung fu is the highest.
I said humbly: "Brother Tianxing's skill is not inferior to mine, but he doesn't show his sharpness to me."
Tianxing smiled and shook his head noncommittally.
…
"Ah, look, that's Siren City." The lively Feng Duo shouted.
At the far end of the horizon, a large city appeared in our field of vision. In terms of scale, this city is no less than the capital of the Dragon God. Mengfa said: "Yes, that is Siren, let's hurry up and try to reach the city at noon Before entering the city, people from the other three colleges may have arrived earlier."
As soon as we entered Xilun City, we were stopped by some young warriors. The first person said politely, "Excuse me, are you from Songzhi College?"
Meng Fa smiled and nodded, "Yes. Who are you?"
Bushido: "We are students of Siren College, and we are responsible for waiting for you here."
Meng Fei signaled everyone to dismount, nodded to the warrior, and said, "Then please lead the way."
The samurai gave a salute, turned around and walked in front, I walked up to Meng Fa and said: "Mr. Meng, thank you for your care along the way. I think it's time for us to break up."
Meng Fei said: "Since you are here, come with us."
I shook my head, "No, I have already troubled you a lot. I will go to watch the ceremony when you participate in the academy exchange." If you go with them, you will definitely meet people from Tiandu, and I don't want to meet them so early.
Meng Fa nodded and said: "If that's the case, then I won't keep you. Be careful, if you want to come to our academy in the future, you are always welcome."
I said a few more words of politeness, and watched them leave with the receiving warriors. When we parted, Feng Duo even gave me a small gem, saying it was a souvenir. Although it was not a precious thing, it made me feel There is a warm current flowing, and the emotion between human beings is indeed much heavier than that of demons and beasts. Lianlu was on the contrary. When she passed by me, she gave me a hard look, and she seemed to have some hatred. Impressed.
The city of Siren is very lively, which is obviously related to this exchange. I finally found a hotel to settle down. I heard from the waiter here that many hotels were full as early as a few days ago, and most of them were young people. Most of them came to see the exchange competition between the four colleges.
I put the burden in my room, ate something casually, and lay quietly on the bed, thinking in my mind, tomorrow, I will be able to see Zixue and Ziyan who are thinking about it, when will I tell them How about explaining, go directly to them? No, that would affect Zi Yan's performance in the exchange competition, so let's meet them after the exchange competition is over. Thinking of this, my heart lightened, and I could drag it back for another two days. I also understand that I am escaping, but I really don't want to lose them.
Walking out of the hotel, the streets are bustling with excitement, many people are openly setting up villages to decide who will be the final winner of this competition. After inquiring, I realized that this was set up by the management class of Siren City, and it is absolutely guaranteed. I walked to a booth with a lot of people, and there was a big sign with the odds of several colleges on it. The highest odds were Songzhi College, which reached 24 to 1, followed by Tiandu College, 16 to 1, and then Xilun College to 8 to 1, and the lowest odds, that is, Fengdong College, the favorite to win the championship, only 1 to 2. I curiously asked the people beside me: "Isn't Tiandu Academy the champion of the upper world? Why are the odds so high?"
The person next to me looked up and down, and said, "You are not a local, do you want to make a bet? Let me tell you, people in Tiandu Academy are dying. Their ace student, Riva, has been promoted to Dragon Knight." , I heard that this time they came here with no hope of winning the championship at all, they just wanted to train the young students, and wait for the lower world to fight again. But Fengdong Academy is different, they have the strongest combination, and the players participating in the competition have The four martial arts students and two magic students have all participated in the competition in the upper realm. Everyone has good strength. No matter what happens this year, Fengdong won’t give other colleges another chance. That’s why his odds are so low. Let me tell you, I plan to bet them 50 gold coins. If I win, hehe…”
