The ivory-white stone pillars support this wide ancient Roman bath, and the steaming heat condenses on the exquisite Moroccan tiles into droplets of water.
Ashin, who was eager to meet Evelyn and the others, walked here and immediately plunged into the warm and comfortable pool. Under the water, he punched like normal exercises, splashed like a splash of water, splashing around with the soup and vegetable residue adhering to him, Mingshuang's claws quickly jumped away from the pool with a shocked laugh.
"Haha, it's so cool! The place to take a bath is too small, I dare not toss like today!"
After smashing all the sticky things on his body, the steaming Ashin jumped from the pool to the face of Mingshuang's claws. The muscles that moved with the pace were full of strong vitality, and he focused his eyes on his body. The people show the fruits of his assiduous practice.
Ming Shuang Claw looked at Ashin's vigorous posture with admiration, and his eyes flickered on his scars all over his body: "Hey! Ashin, it seems that you have experienced a lot of fierce battles!"
A Xin curled his lips and touched the blood mark on his throat that was drawn by Mingshuang's claws: "It's extremely dangerous... Isn't it just as dangerous as it was? If you really fight it down, I'll be dead!"
Mingshuang Claw tilted his head and slowly said, "Not necessarily, if I fight with you again, I'm afraid it will be me who will die."
A Xin stretched his neck and exclaimed, "Ah? Don't be kidding! It's me who begged for mercy!" He looked a little distressed: "It always feels like something important has disappeared."
Ming Shuang Claw smiled lightly: "It's the pride of the warrior? But you beg for mercy. This shows that you have the courage to endure humiliation. Compared with those who can't stand a bit of anger, you'd rather use death to escape from a brash man. It's much better. But what I’m telling you is the truth. When I was driving you into a desperate situation, I suddenly felt that there was a very powerful murderous intimidation on the beam of the hall that threatened me. If I really wanted to kill you, I kept hiding. I'm afraid that the one who peeped would have taken my life long ago! This person is by no means an ordinary person. He is very worried about your safety, but he concealed himself and refused to show up to meet you. He confirmed that I didn't want to harm me. After you, I walked away quietly, so I didn't tell you anything at the time." He sniffed, thinking about the smell at the time: "The smell on his body is very strange, like there are many kinds of medicine and insects. The flavors are mixed together. Ashin, are there any masters around you who can carry all kinds of potions and insects on your body like this?"
"Take a lot of medicine and insects with you? No, how can such a strange guy exist!" A Xin's eyes rounded, his neck stiffly turned and shook his head, but he knew exactly who was that person in his heart:( It's a doctor! He and Wang Zi are sitting on the same number as Faeu, and he must have arrived at the ghostly black market much earlier than me! Has he been secretly protecting me? I don't know what he and the prince are doing now? Uh... so, that death The black-bellied captain is also in the dark market!) Thinking of this, his face immediately showed a very disgusting expression.
Ming Shuang Claw saw A Xin's expression: "It seems that you also think it is very disgusting to carry bugs on your body. Then change the topic. I ask my subordinates to prepare a banquet to welcome you. But now, my master and you This host and guest are not present, is this a bit too rude?"
Ashin shrugged: "Then let's go and meet everyone."
Mingshuangclaw led Ashin out of the bathing place, passed through a corridor, and then came outside the exquisite garden arch dedicated to the patriarch of Leopard people.
This garden is filled with a rich and strong fragrance, and all kinds of exotic flowers that have been carefully pruned and cultivated are splendidly scented to visitors under the shining of the moonlight.
At this time, the garden was covered with red carpets, and under the joy of red, the atmosphere of the garden became warm.
Byrne and Byron are sitting together, and they are discussing enthusiastically about the future development plan of everyone who was rescued in the black market.
The four Leopards were happily fighting wine while telling jokes, making Evelyn trembling.
And Walker looked at the iron flagon in his hand intently and thoughtfully: "This pattern...is it a wine vessel used by the royal family of the Assyrian Empire?"
"It's indeed something from the Assyrian Empire." Mingshuangclaw stepped into the garden boldly, followed by Ashin who didn't know what he was making. It seemed that for a while he couldn't find the trick on how to guide his power.
The four Leopards immediately stopped playfully and said in unison: "Patriarch!" Evelyn and the others also stood up and saluted.
Mingshuang Claw walked to the chairperson and sat down and asked in his resolute voice: "Leopard people have always eaten mainly meat, and the taste is relatively rough. So I ordered someone to invite a chef with a quirky pot of stew. , Don’t know if this dish suits the appetite of all the distinguished guests?"
Evelyn bowed her head and saluted: "The dishes are very delicious, thank the patriarch for the hospitality!" Although she was very respectful, she couldn't help but be attracted by Ashin.
"That's good." Mingshuangclaw greeted Asin: "Axin, you must be hungry too? Come here, you are welcome!" He turned his head and said to the four leopard men, "Don't be stunned. Give me a free stomach to eat! If anyone has leftovers, I will punish him to wash the dishes for a year in a pot of quirky stew!"
Scarred Leopard was very happy, and his mouth filled with meat and wine made a vague voice: "Okay! A pot of quirky stewed vegetables is very expensive, usually I can't afford it!"
Ming Shuang Claw looked at the Scar Leopard and asked, "You have been working in Jingyuan Hotel since you retired from the upper army of soldiers?"
The scared leopard nodded again and again: "The Hui patriarch, it has been six years now! The four of us are all at the same time!"
Ming Shuang Claw nodded: "Well, it's hard work. After this Jinlunbao business war, come and do things by my side!"
The scarred leopard man was taken aback for a moment, and he spouted the meat from his mouth, and said cheerfully with the other three leopards: "Yes!"
Mingshuang's claw turned his head and found that Ashin was facing the roasted rock beef leg with a tangled expression. He smiled and asked, "Axin, why don't you use your mouth? Don't you like this dish? You can ask someone to change it to your favorite right away."
Ashin shook his head, swallowed his saliva and said, "No, this is delicious! But I can't eat it alone, so I will be punished to wash the dishes..."
Mingshuang Claw laughed: "Haha, do you really believe it? I'm joking, just eat it!" He winked at the two Leopard warriors standing under the arch, and then said to Asin, "Axin, I There is a gift for you."
"Present?" Ashin chewed on the rock beef leg: "This dish is already very grand. How am I embarrassed to ask for your gift?"
"You're welcome." Mingshuang pointed his claws to the two Leopard warriors who were walking in with their things outside the arch: "This gift is very good for you!"
At this time, the two Leopard warriors had already moved the gift prepared by the Leopard patriarch to Ashin, and the four Leopard men stared at the gift dumbfoundedly as if they had been given a body fixation technique when they saw it.
It is a very exquisitely made armor. The overall shape is comfortable and streamlined. It is engraved with runes that can resist magic and curses. It also uses creative methods to safely remove the flaws and dead ends of ordinary armor. Cover up.
Mingshuang Claw said to Asin, "This armor is made of star iron by a master craftsman. I think your body shape is just right for it, so I took it out and gave it to you."
Walker looked at the armor, then looked at Mingshuangclaw, suddenly widened his eyes and jumped up and said in surprise: "My patriarch, this armor is exactly the same as yours! Is this only the patriarch of Leopard people qualified to wear it? 'Leopard King'?"
"Ah?! For the patriarch?" Ashin also raised his hand anxiously: "This is the gift for me? No, no! This gift is too heavy, I can't bear it!"
Mingshuang’s claws stretched out on Ah Xin’s shoulders: “Don’t worry, this armor was originally custom-made by my father when I was born, but I didn’t expect my body to be bigger than a lion in adulthood, so I didn’t. How to put on such a small piece of armor." He looked down at his King Leopard Armor: "Now I have my own King Leopard Armor. This small armor has always been in Curry and is useless. , So just give you a thank you gift for killing the Pella family. Moreover, the next arena is very dangerous, you really need to be armed."
Evelyn immediately showed a worried expression when she heard the word "danger". She leaned against Asin and shook his arm vigorously: "Axin, the patriarch is for your own good, so please accept it!"
Walker, Byrne, Byron, and the four Leopards exchanged glances. Walker stood up and saluted Mingshuangclaw very sincerely: "With the Leopard King Armor in his body, it is equivalent to showing everyone: May The Ashin of the Diqi family is protected by the Leopard patriarch! In this way, we will not be afraid of being retaliated by the competitors who lost in the battle. Those who have ulterior motives to harm us will also be awed by the power of the Leopard race. I really don't know how to repay the patriarch for his painstaking efforts!"
Mingshuangzaw smiled and said, "I do have this meaning."
After hearing Walker’s words, Ashin and Evelyn suddenly realized: "Oh! So the patriarch still has this intention!"
"Gah—!!!"
A gust of wind suddenly blew over the garden, and the dark clouds covered the bright moonlight with their teeth and claws, and the screams of the monsters burst out from the big mouth of the cracked blood basin.
Everyone was frightened by the scream, they looked up to the sky, and swooped out a large group of dirty monsters from the dark clouds.
Those monsters looked like some kind of scorpion with bat wings, their limbs twisted like crazy but with strange power. They stared longing for blood, and hovered over the garden with angry screams.
"Bone-selling scorpion?! How could there be such a thing in the Leopard-Human Autonomous Region?! Who did this?" Mingshuangclaw's eyes rolled with astonishing anger, and he hated this monster very much, because-bone-selling What the scorpion likes most is the flesh and blood of the leopard man!
