The first thing Huangyan did after waking up was to look to her left, but what caught her eyes was not the familiar boy, but the endless desert. Just a few seconds after opening her eyes, the sunlight made her cry continuously, and Huangyan had to close her eyes again, slowly adapting to the surrounding environment.
She instinctively gathered her five fingers together, but there was no Lid's hand under her palm, and this movement only grabbed a handful of fine sand.
Huang Yan opened her eyes, sat up, and looked at the devastated plain.
The wind blew around her, and there was silence between heaven and earth. The blue sky above her head, the snow under her feet melted, everything in front of her eyes was so different from what she had seen before, so that at that moment, Huangyan even wondered if she had come to the world after death, where she had been with Li before. The memory of surviving the catastrophe with Germany is like a dream.
At this time, there was a grunting sound from beside her:
"Serge... this king... really... can't take it anymore..."
Huang Yan looked to the side, and the little colorless slime was sleeping quietly beside him, like a cat napping in the sun. Huang Yan stretched out her hand and held it in her palm. Little Slime didn't realize it, and was still dreaming of some sweet dream:
"This king has become stronger... Hufufu, you birdmen with wings... This king will eat you all..."
Huangyan slowly closed her hands, covering them in her palms, and then began to shake up and down continuously, until there was a terrified cry between her hands:
"Serge...? An earthquake! It's not good!! Where's my servant?? Help, hurry up!!"
Huangyan stopped her hands and spread her palms. The startled little slime looked around, and finally met Huangyan's eyes.
The two stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes. After a while, Huang Yan asked first:
"Do you know where Lid went?"
The little slime looked at Huangyan stupidly. It just woke up and didn't understand what Huangyan was asking. After a while, the little slime stretched out two tentacles from both sides of his body, knocked in front of him, and said as if he finally remembered something:
"Oh! This morning, when I was half asleep and half awake, I saw him get up from the ground. I asked him where he was going, and he said he still had some things to deal with, so he left alone. Serge... He let Ben Wang first went back to the human territory with you, and said that he had already arranged it, and people from Lingwu would not dare to bully you."
The little slime crawled along Huangyan's arm to her shoulder, and rubbed her fair jade neck.
Huangyan's body still has a lot of disgusting aura, and the little slime likes this aura very much, just like cats like catnip. Probably because of this reason, even though Huangyan looked as cold and heartless as the Great Commander of Yinwei, Little Slime was not afraid of her.
Huang Yan looked around, picked up her own knife from the ground, inserted it back into the scabbard at her waist, and then patted the dust off her body. I don't know why, but she didn't feel any signs of pain in her body after sleeping on the dry and hard ground all night, and even the injury she suffered yesterday has healed.
"Then go back."
Huang Yan said softly, and walked south.
The little slime climbed to the top of her head, laying lazily on her head, and asked:
"Don't you want to go to him?"
Huang Yan replied:
"I want to, but I can't go. Although he didn't tell me directly, I know some things in my heart. Too many forces are involved in the anger of Heaven's disgust. Now that the catastrophe is over, I shouldn't continue to stay on this land. Otherwise, it may bring new variables to the situation.”
Huang Yan seemed to be talking about a matter of course, and said lightly:
"I'm worried about him, but this time is different from last time. Last time I knew my brother was in trouble, so I would do anything to get to him, but now I'm only going to be a disservice by staying here. I probably can Guess what he is going to do, because when I came out of Dahuangshan, someone reminded me that Lord Lingwu had other plans for this trip to the north. This game is against me, Li De, and too many people. Life is closely related, if I were Li De, I would not be willing to be plotted by her."
Little Slime listened silently, her bulging body dangling above Huangyan's head.
Huangyan put one hand on the handle of the knife at her waist, and walked step by step. While leaving a string of footprints on the dust, the evil spirit that had been exhausted began to slowly linger around her body again. Huangyan's pupils are full of coldness, but her voice is very peaceful:
"What I can do is to go back to the Great Barren Mountain, let the rebel army grow stronger, and let this spark spread throughout the entire Kingdom of Eternal Heaven. If my brother does not come back safely in the future, I, Huang Yan, will destroy the Lingwu Lord's Mansion in this life, The body of that self-righteous woman was torn into pieces and thrown out to be fed to the dogs."
When she said this, there was no sense of threat in her tone, it was more like she was speaking to herself, to everything in the world.
Little Slime shuddered, thinking for no reason that she could indeed do such a thing.
But if you think about it, it has nothing to do with it. The little slime messed up Huangyan's hair, making it look like a bird's nest, then lay down in it and began to take a nap comfortably. It can be regarded as the existence that knows Lide best. Although he can't see through Lide's bottomless strength, he is a man who can come back alive from the hands of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon Race and the High Giant. Little Slime doesn't think Lord Lingwu would pose too much threat to him.
"Serge... he is the king's servant after all! How could he fall into the hands of mere mortals!"
Little Slime muttered and didn't think about it any more.
…
Half a month later, at the Refusal North Inn.
Merlin stood at the door of the room and asked Alayah:
"Then according to what I just said, I will send Hilo back to Yuxi City, and you will stay here and wait for Lide?"
Alaya nodded.
As Li De's maid, she can stay here for a longer period of time, but as the absolute core of Anbu in Yuxi City, it's best for Xiluo to return to Yuxi City to wait for orders. When leaving Yuxi City, Shuang also told them: Xi Luo can't leave for more than half a year at most, otherwise the Anbu of Yuxi City will lose its pillar and its deterrence will be greatly reduced.
Hilo stood quietly beside Merlin, looking at Alaya who was full of worry in his eyes, wondering if he should tell her Lied's true strength, so that she could feel relieved. But Shiloh thought about it for a while, and finally said nothing. He just lifted the cloak and put a few life-saving daggers that he kept next to him into Alaya's hands. After [Youlong] was broken, Alaiya only had one [Crimson Fire] left in her hand. Hilo didn't know much about swordsmanship, but she was very worried that if the Crimson Fire was also broken, Alaiya would have no weapons to use.
This is her way of showing concern.
Alaya smiled slightly at her, and Merlin poked the ground with his cane, and added a few words:
"This time my avatar will stay in Yuxi City for a while. If there is no accident, Yuxi City is about to prepare for the first encroachment on Yunyang territory recently. I will help you solve some crises there as much as I can. .Don't worry, everything will be fine."
