Akabane's mentality collapsed.
Facing the little boy's questioning, he was very unconvinced at first.
Then, probably seeing his emotions, the little boy slowly raised one hand, but without seeing any movement from him, the big rock that Lan was squatting on just now was silently cut into several pieces.
Laura just walked over and accidentally nudged her.
"Boom—"
As the boulder collapsed due to the loss of balance, there was also the confidence that Akabane had finally rebuilt.
Fuck, since you are so awesome, why hire a bodyguard!
The red-haired young man opened his mouth, the light in his eyes dimmed as if suddenly extinguished, and he sat back dejectedly.
"Baby, Akabane is indeed my hired bodyguard."
"Don't bully him."
In front of Jun Lu's eyes, two lines of small golden characters jumped out.
He watched the small characters disappear, and looked at the red-haired young man leaning against the stone, hugging his knees and falling into a state of autism, he pursed his lips, but didn't continue to hit him.
"Owner… "
Lan looked at Akabane, then at Junlu, lightly scratched the ground with her front paws, and hesitated to speak.
Jun Lu ignored him, but looked at the location he had just teleported over.
Only a little fluorescent green light was seen, lighting up in mid-air.
Lan immediately protected Jun Lu behind him, stared at the fluorescent green light, bared his teeth, stared at it with a pair of wolf eyes, and the scar on his right eye showed a fierce look.
This time, it will definitely not let the little master be taken away under his nose!
And Akabane, whose heart collapsed, managed to pull himself together, holding his small diamond-encrusted dagger in his hand, and guarded behind the little boy.
Although he is not strong enough, since he took this job, he will not be lazy and paddling.
However, the danger they imagined did not happen.
The green light dissipated, and a fairy girl who looked about eleven or twelve years old appeared in front of them.
She smiled at them, showing a quiet smile.
Lan didn't relax his vigilance, when the fairy girl flapped her thin wings and wanted to fly towards Junlu, it took a step to the side and stopped her.
"Lan."
Junlu yelled at it.
No need for him to say more, Lan already understood what he meant, so he had no choice but to squat down, but a pair of green wolf eyes still stared faintly at the fairy girl.
"Big dog, hello."
The fairy girl smiled at it, facing the giant white wolf dozens of times bigger than herself, she didn't have the slightest fear.
Lan looked at her, and said after a while, "I am Wind Wolf."
"I'm Funa."
The fairy girl tilted her head and said, "Your eyes are the same color as mine."
Lan couldn't help but pause.
Shouldn't now be the time for swords to be drawn? Why are you chattering all of a sudden? What should it say now
"Oh." Lan said bluntly.
The fairy girl was about to say something when she heard the little boy's voice: "Funa, what are you doing here?"
Queen Funa looked at Junlu.
"Your Highness, I want to follow you." She flew in front of Jun Lu, "The fairy world has been blocked by me again, and I have to wait another month to go back, so let me follow you."
Before Jun Lu's eyes, the image of her playing with the empty blood bottle flashed past.
He looked at her vigilantly and asked, "Why are you following me?"
"Of course it's to save Grandpa Joseph."
The fairy girl put her hips on her hips and said proudly, "As a queen, how can you not do anything?"
Jun Lu looked at her, "I'm not going to save Elder Joseph next."
"I know, you are going to recover your strength first, right?" Queen Funa said, "If not, I would not agree to let you leave the fairy world."
"Just let me follow you, I want to help."
The fairy girl clasped her hands together and said coquettishly, "I know many kinds of spells, which are very useful!"
In front of the phone screen, upon hearing the Fairy Queen's words, Yu Xingqiao couldn't help but think of Bai Yaya who was once regarded as a tool man.
Thinking of Bai Yaya's misery that day, he couldn't help looking at Queen Funa with sympathy.
But she didn't offend Zai Zai, so it shouldn't be too miserable, right
[Zai Zai said to you: "Master, do you want to keep her?"]
At this time, the system box popped up.
Yu Xingqiao couldn't help blinking, Zai Zai was asking him if he wanted to keep the Fairy Queen
After thinking about it, he called up the input method and typed the text.
"Stay here."
The small golden words appeared in front of his eyes, and Jun Lu pursed his lips. Although he had already guessed the result, he still felt very uncomfortable.
"You can stay if you want." He said coldly, looking at Laura.
Among those present, Laura was the most common. She was just a human being. Although she had a little strength, she was incomparable to the few people in front of her.
Not to mention, there is also a "big master" who has never appeared and silently guarded the little boy.
"Young master." She said respectfully.
In fact, Jun Lu didn't have anything to say to her, but he simply didn't want to talk to the Fairy Queen. He paused and said, "Go ahead and cook."
"Oh, alright."
Laura responded and continued to cook the barbecue.
At the same time, she was thinking about the "Your Highness" that the fairy girl just said in her heart. She had a vague guess, but she was not sure.
Queen Funa smiled happily when she saw Junlu's agreement, and wandered around the camp.
Yu Xingqiao understood her feelings very well.
He only stayed in the sterile room for more than ten years, but she was turned into a puppet and stayed alone in the basement for hundreds of years. Now she is out of the world of fairies. One can imagine how excited she is.
Jun Lu ignored her, but turned his eyes to Chi Yu who was sitting beside the stone.
He could tell that Akabane should be a magical beast like Lan, but the aura on his body seemed to be somewhat different from that of the intelligent race.
He frowned.
Akabane is digesting what the fairy girl said just now. She said that she is the fairy queen, and then there is an elder who needs to be rescued? And the little boss who hired him will find a way to restore his strength next
So now, is he in a state where his strength has not recovered
Akabane looked at the boulder that was broken into several pieces not far away, and fell into autism again.
It's nothing more than gravel. He used to be a fist, but he couldn't do it lightly like the little boy. He shattered before his hand touched the stone.
Not to mention, it is really very difficult for him to smash a boulder with his fist under the gravity field of 50 times.
And what did the little boy just say
This is not his full strength.
So they are so strong, why do they need to hire bodyguards
At this moment, Akabane noticed the little boy's gaze, and he looked at him with scrutiny written in a pair of red pupils.
Akabane couldn't help swallowing.
Before he remembered, he seemed to have given him a one-month probationary period. If within one month, the combat power evaluation did not reach one and a half stars, he would be fired.
Although he was disgusted and attacked in various ways, Akabane would not be reconciled at all if he just left.
"That, boss?"
He hesitated for a moment, and opened his mouth.
[He is not the one who hired you]
A line of cute small characters appeared in front of Akabane.
[Congratulations, Akabane, you have passed the probation period assessment, and you have reached a star and a half in the combat effectiveness assessment within a month, please continue to work hard]
Akabane was overjoyed, and saw the small characters continue to emerge.
[In the future, you will be evaluated every two months. If the evaluation results go backwards or stay where you are, you may be fired] [The target you want to protect is the cub standing in front of you. Please always talk to someone Stay by his side and protect his safety. If you do anything other than what is stipulated in the contract, you may be deported]
[A reminder, your current combat power level is the same as that of [Nanny Laura]]
Looking at the small print on the screen, Akabane's face turned blue and red, especially when he saw the words "Nanny Laura", he almost wanted to dig a hole and bury himself.
As a bodyguard, he doesn't even have a nanny to beat him!
How can there be such a blow to people!
"What's your name?" At this moment, the childish voice of the little boy recalled Akabane's thoughts.
He came to his senses and said: "Hi, young master, my name is Chiyu!"
Jun Lu didn't bother with his title, and continued: "Akabane? Your original form is a devil tiger?"
Akabane patted his chest and said, "I am the Red Flame Tiger!"
"I've never heard of it." Jun Lu said coldly.
Akabane's eyes widened, and just about to say something, he changed his words when he reached his mouth: "Well, your place is different from mine, no one has heard of Chiyanhu, it's normal."
He looked lonely, and his red hair was hanging down.
But Jun Lu heard something strange, "Where are you?"
"That's right, the Scarlet Flame Tiger is a very famous race in our Golden Wood World. If you say it, no one will know about it. If you go there, you will understand."
Akabane would never explain that much to others before, but isn't the situation now compelling
"Golden Wood World..."
This is the first time Junlu has heard of this world.
He still remembers what the Great Elder said, the world is not what he thinks it is.
And Thrall is not from Shining World, he is an outsider.
"Have you heard of Sal?" Jun Lu asked.
Akabane looked at him and shook his head blankly, "Among the people I know, there is no such name."
Jun Lu was not disappointed, he continued to ask: "How did you come to Glorious World?"
"The boss hired me to be your bodyguard, and then I was teleported here." Akabane scratched his head, a little dazed by his question.
Doesn't he know
But if you think about it, it's normal for such a young child not to be told by his parents.
Jun Lu fell into deep thought when he heard his words.
'system. '
[Um]
'Why does the master come to shine the world and need my own hand-painted paintings, and I can't see him, but Akabane is not restricted? '
Junlu asked in his heart.
[They are different]'How is it different? '
[Akabane has signed a protection agreement with you and is recognized by the laws of the world. If he does something that hurts you, he will also be kicked out by the laws of the world]
'Master won't hurt me. '
[You yourself tell the law of the world]
Jun Lu pursed his lips slightly, and gave up arguing with the system, but continued to question Akabane to learn about the outside world.
In their world, Akabane can be regarded as the favored child of heaven, but after all, he is still underage, so he has not been exposed to the secrets of the world, so he can only tell Jun Lu about the situation in their world.
Jun Lu listened intently, and Lan also sat aside, listening to him carefully.
Akabane liked this feeling of being valued, so he spoke more vigorously.
In the Golden Wood World, everyone has a beast form and a human form. They are born as cubs, and when they are about ten years old, they can transform into humans, similar to the wisdom monsters in the Shining World.
"The world of Jinmu is advanced in technology. We have conquered dozens of planets and are exploring the galaxy closest to us."
"Our biggest enemies are the Zerg and the mutant star beasts. Every year, the empire sends troops to the front line to fight the Zergs and snipe the mutant star beasts."
"Last year, I was admitted to the Empire's No. 1 Military Academy with the first place, and not long ago, I won the championship of the New Mecha Contest!"
"My goal is to become the marshal and go to the front to kill all the Zerg!"
Talking about his own situation, Akabane was beaming with joy, as if he hadn't finished talking for three days and three nights.
However, when he accidentally saw the calm eyes of the two audience members, he couldn't help but pouted, and then curled his lips to hide his blushing face.
Well, in front of these two perverts, his past record is really not worth mentioning.
Jun Lu listened carefully to Akabane's talk about the outside world, and was especially interested in the part about Star Wars.
There is no life outside of the shining star, let alone the existence of adjacent galaxies. The shining world is like a circle, not like the golden wood world described by Akabane, which is vast and boundless.
Soon Laura had supper ready and called them over.
A group of people gathered around the fire, discussing the next plan while eating.
Yu Xingqiao only drools when looking at the barbecue, but he can't be in the picture now, he can only look at the screen with greed.
But soon, he saw Zai Zai put a piece of barbecue into the safe house.
! ! !
He quickly opened the interface of the safe house, and found a small plate of barbecue on the dining table, emitting steam.
Yu Xingqiao hastily put the barbecue into the incubator, and it can be taken out to eat when it is painted in the evening! He also smeared it with barbecue sauce and hot sauce, it was delicious!
Satisfied, Yu Xingqiao switched back to the interface, stretched out his finger and touched Zai Zai's head.
Feeling the caress on the top of his head, Jun Lu slightly bent his lips, and then looked at the few people present.
Lan signed a master pet contract with him, which is absolutely trustworthy. Akabane came from another world and signed an agreement with the system. Laura is the nanny hired by the master, and she has already proved her loyalty with her actions.
As for Queen Funa, her hatred for Thrall is absolutely no less than him.
After the analysis, Jun Lv decided to tell the truth.
"Next, I'm going to find the land of the extreme north, which has a lot to do with my recovery of strength."
He looked at the crowd and said, "The only clue we know now is that human beings once went to the extreme north and brought back something."
After he finished speaking, there was a moment of silence.
Then Akabane asked, "Do you know what it is?"
Jun Lu shook his head, "I don't know."
"Who is that person who has been to that extreme north?"
Jun Lu looked at Queen Funa.
The fairy girl froze, shaking her head like a rattle, "I really can't remember."
Akabane couldn't help being speechless, "Then what's the difference between that and not knowing anything?"
"At least there is a direction." Queen Funa whispered.
Akabane had no choice but to ask again: "Are there very few humans in your world?"
"Worldwide."
Akabane: "..."
Seeing his expression, Queen Funa stopped talking. She flew onto Laura's shoulder and sat down, deciding to be an obedient listener.
"I think… "
At this moment, Laura, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were on her, which made Laura feel stressed.
She poked the fire with a branch, and said in a low voice: "The dean of the research institute I worked with before is a knowledgeable old man, maybe...you can ask her?"
Laura was a sample collector employed by the research institute before, collecting biogeological and other samples in the wild, and selling them to the research institute to earn high remuneration.
Because she met a giant lizard and was abandoned by her companions, and was rescued by Yu Xingqiao on the way, she was willing to stay as a nanny.
Seeing Jun Lu lost in thought, Laura continued: "Moreover, Buta City's technological level is one of the best in the human world. In recent years, many inventions have come from the Buta City Research Institute."
"If you can enter the database of the Buta Research Institute, you may be able to find relevant information."
Akabane clapped his hands and said, "Your proposal is reliable!"
He originally thought that the Glorious World was a very primitive world, and there might be names like magic, but he didn't expect that there would be human technology!
"Okay, let's go to Buta City tomorrow." Jun Lu pondered for a moment, then made a decision.
Laura looked relieved.
She couldn't help but look towards the void, the big master... I don't know if he is watching? After so long, she finally helped that existence a little bit.
I just hope that the dean can have clues, and don't let them go in vain.
[Ding~Trigger side mission [Go to Buta City]]
[Mission description: Zai Zai is looking for the extreme north, got a clue from the fairy queen Funa, and then decided to go to the Buta Research Institute under the suggestion of the nanny Laura]
[Task Content: Assist Zai Zai to go to Buta City and successfully enter the Buta Research Institute]
[Task Rewards: Gold Coins +100, Random Rewards +1, Number of Lottery Draws +1]
Yu Xingqiao looked at the system box that popped up, and after reading it carefully, he couldn't help being overjoyed.
It seems that the direction of Buta City is correct!
"Laura, do you know how to get to Buta City?" At this time, Jun Lu asked Laura.
Laura came back to her senses, nodded quickly, took a necklace from her neck, and lightly pressed the button in the middle.
A light screen appeared above the necklace.
"The navigation system is starting."
An electronic voice came out, "The satellite is connected, the current positioning is successful, and the map is ready."
"Please state your destination."
Looking at the navigator, Akabane's eyes lit up. God knows how much he longed for high-tech products this month!
Lan and Queen Funa only showed a little curiosity, and only Jun Lu looked calm.
"Buta City." He said softly.
"Buta City, the location is successful, the route has been planned for you, please check the map."
After the electronic voice finished speaking, a small map appeared, with the route marked on it, as well as the distance and the shortest arrival time of various means of transportation.
"Wow, this prairie is too big! Even if you use the fastest means of transportation, it will take a month to get there?" Akabane couldn't help but sigh.
Laura nodded, "In fact, it took me half a year to get here in an off-road vehicle with my companions."
Of course, there was a long way between them.
Looking at the map, Jun Lu frowned and thought.
If he used shadow stealth, it might not take as long as a month. Lan and Akabane could be put in a safe house or a shadow cage.
but…
The power of shadows must become more proficient the more he uses it, even if he doesn't try to comprehend it deliberately, he will have an epiphany as the number of times he uses it increases.
In this way, he is bound to absorb more power of shadows, causing damage to Glory World.
Thinking of the old man who tried his best to protect him, Jun Lu still hesitated.
Finally, he released his fist.
It's better to go on your way normally, even if you use the shadow to sneak, it probably won't be long.
Yu Xingqiao saw Zai Zai's struggle in his eyes, and finally, he grinned when he heard him say that after resting at the same place, we will set off together tomorrow.
Now, there are more and more partners around Zai Zai, and he believes that one day, Zai Zai will definitely recover!
Early the next morning, Jun Lu and the others left the camp and set off for Buta City.
After the battle in the Fairy World, Thrall probably knew about his transformation back into a baby ecology, and he might use Warcraft to capture him.
Fortunately, Jun Lu's injuries have recovered to a good extent. During this month in the Fairy World, he has finally learned how to hide the flesh and blood of the Clan of Light.
In this way, the concealment is undoubtedly improved a lot.
However, in order to reduce consumption and avoid complications, Queen Funa proposed to turn him and Laura into fairy states, and let Akabane and Lan take them on a journey in the wild.
After all, both Lan and Akabane are monsters, so it will not be easy to attract attention and avoid trouble.
After thinking about it for a moment, Jun Lu agreed to the plan.
Anyway, it's not the first time he has become a fairy.
Therefore, Queen Funa performed transfiguration, turning him and Laura into fairies, and then hid them together in the pockets of Akabane's jacket, and Akabane rode Lan to lead them on the road.
When he heard this proposal, Akabane was stunned. He looked at the giant white wolf and couldn't help swallowing.
And when Junlu, Queen Funa, and Laura turned into goblins and hid them in his pockets, urging him to act quickly, he came back to his senses.
Fuck, ride a big dog!
Akabane suddenly got excited, although he didn't want to admit it, but he had actually coveted Lan's white hair for a long time.
Plush and fluffy, it sure feels nice to the touch!
He grinned at Lan, showing a proud little canine tooth.
Rand turned nonchalantly, turning his back to him.
"Hahaha, here I come!"
Akabane climbed up Lan's back, and touched its fluffy white fur as he wished.
Then, Lan ran wildly and nearly fell him. Akabane sat down quickly, but didn't dare to pull its fur, so he had to cling to it and hug its neck with both hands.
In this way, his entire face was buried between the cotton-like wolf fur.
It's so cool!
Yu Xingqiao also felt very refreshed.
Because the time of the prairie and the real world are reversed day and night, so after he enters the painting at night, it will be daytime on the prairie.
He rarely saw the daytime of the Shining World, and he was still on the wild prairie, traveling with Zai Zai!
This excited him badly.
Funa and Laura stayed in one pocket, while Junlu stayed in the other pocket, so when Yu Xingqiao appeared, it was in Junlv's pocket—
His body also shrank, but this did not affect his excitement at all.
The boy grabbed the edge of the pocket and poked his head out to look out.
The wind on the prairie howled towards his face, distorting his face, but it was nothing at all.
Because it is so cool!
He couldn't help but shouted happily.
Yu Xingqiao still remembered that when Zaizai and Lan were hunting together on the grassland, he really wanted to run with them, facing the wind and the rising sun.
And now, his little dream has come true!
Listening to the juvenile's cheers, Jun Lu slightly curled the corners of his mouth.
Stealth without shadows, maybe this is really the right choice.
