We sent Tira to the vicinity of Skystar City, and after confirming that there was no threat from the demons, we turned around and left.
On the way, Alaiya asked:
"Master, do you just let her leave like this?"
I replied:
"Why, do you think there is something wrong with this person?"
Alaya said calmly:
"I just feel that her words are flickering."
I said:
"Yes, there is indeed such a thing. She didn't disclose much information about Skystar City to us, and she hurriedly invited us to Skystar City. At first glance, it seems a bit abnormal. But we rescued her completely by coincidence, and now The people under Fang Shisan's hands can't make such an exquisite game. She is Fang Shisan's maid, so it's normal to be cautious. If she tells us everything with a big mouth, I will feel that there is something wrong with her. question."
Alaya said without changing her face:
"Torture is always said."
"Can you stop being so scary as you think?"
I reluctantly advised:
"Actually, it's not that she didn't disclose any news to us. Although she hid it well, there are at least two things that she can't hide. First, the situation facing Fang Shisan is not good, so she has been thinking about it. Disobeying Lord Zhaochen’s orders and secretly accepting the refugees from Yuxi City, it’s just that Fang Lita refused to let him. Fang Shisan is a cautious person, if it wasn’t for the difficult situation, it would be impossible to do such a thing.”
Alaya nodded.
I continued:
"Secondly, our plan is progressing smoothly. That brother Fang Lita is probably already singing and singing every night, daydreaming, immersed in the spiritual pleasure brought by the succubus."
Alaya asked suspiciously:
"How does the young master know?"
I replied:
"It's very simple. No matter how Tila hides it, the medicine she picked will not deceive people. At a glance, they are all medicinal materials for cooling down and eliminating fire. The decoction is like some authentic herbal tea Wang ○ Ji. It’s hot. I asked her if Fang Shisan wanted to use it, and she said no. She would go to the demon’s territory to gather medicine even if she did not hesitate to send troops. It’s not Fang Shisan’s own problem, but Fang Lita’s problem in all likelihood. Of course, it doesn’t matter if Tira lied to us, it’s even better if Fang Shisan has a problem with her own health, I hope she dies of illness in Star City that day, so no one will trouble us.”
Alaya said softly:
"Master, where are we going now? Continue to go northwest?"
I shook my head:
"No need. You have completed the five majors of swordsmanship."
From the fifth level of kendo to the perfection of the five majors of kendo, it would have taken several years. No matter how hard you practice swordsmanship, it will take three to five years. But for Alaiya, this process only took about half a month. This sounds incredible, but it makes sense when you think about it.
Because of Alaiya, in the past half a month, a total of 3,300 low-level chicken demons were killed.
Killed four of the elite monsters above the fifth level.
A total of near-death, seven times.
Kendo is about skill and state of mind. Alaiya doesn't know my strength, she will fight with all her heart every time she meets the demons, because in her eyes, as long as she loses, I have to die with her. A person is under tremendous pressure, always hovering on the edge of life and death, this is what a murderer should bear. Since the last time she killed the red-maned bear, Alaya's kendo has become higher and higher day by day, and when the tide rises, it stops again after the completion of the five majors.
Next is an opportunity for a breakthrough. This opportunity can be met but not sought, it cannot be solved by continuing to kill monsters.
As for the little slime, after eating the sixth-level and seventh-level demons, it didn't continue to change its shape, and its core dimmed, and it looked drowsy every day. She no longer followed me, and usually limply lay on top of my head, or wanted Alaya to hug her chest.
"Master, what should we do now? Stay here?"
Aliya nodded and asked instead.
I looked southeast and smiled.
"No. Go back."
I patted the dust off my clothes and said:
"Even the hostile Zhaochen Territory knows about this, so there must be a lot of momentum. After all, if we go back now, we might be able to catch up with my father's envoys entering the city. Heh... that's expulsion from the family, and it will last a lifetime." It’s just such a one-time thing, I’m just not going back to have a look, I’m too sorry for the envoy who came all the way.”
Alaiya didn't speak, but followed behind me obediently.
I remembered what He Yue said to me at that time.
Take the ten cities of Zhaochen first, and then conquer the territory of Lineng; or take the territory of Lineng first, and then go north to take the ten cities of Zhaochen. The final core purpose, the ultimate goal of the so-called first stage, is to swallow the entire Yunyang. I still remember that on the riverside under the moon, He Yue told me that if you want to take Yunyang, it is not right now, and you will suffer a lot. Even if you win, you will be criticized by others.
At that time he thought about it, and finally added:
"Unless... Yunyang takes the initiative to sever ties with you."
