Chapter 35: Some Legends
Zhao Xi never expected that the reason why Buffy called him over was his own skills, and he thought it was something else.
"This is a sword technique that has been passed down from our family, and it was not something I risked to acquire. ”
In fact, Zhao Xi wanted to say that this was obtained by his own adventure, but if Buffy wanted to ask where he was, he would definitely reveal his nonsense.
After all, no matter how unfamiliar Buffy is with his surroundings, he is much better than an alien visitor, and a lie that is too outrageous is an insult to Buffy's IQ.
So Zhao Xi pushed everything onto his own family or something, and even the people of the family pretended to be, are you afraid of adding a few swordsmanship to them?
Although he didn't want to have too much contact with that mysterious family, this family was the best shield now.
When it comes to family secrets, Buffy can't ask again.
Even if he continued to ask, Zhao Xi could use the family secrets to fool the past, and he would be justified in what he said at that time.
Buffy was not surprised by Zhao Xi's answer, and even showed a look on his face.
"I won't ask much if that's the case, but I have a small request. Buffy said with a breath.
"What request?" Zhao Xi was also much more relaxed when he saw that the other party did not mean to stalk, and became interested in what Buffy said.
"If you have the chance, I hope you can introduce me to the elders of your family. ”
After speaking, Buffy also solemnly took off the hat on his head and saluted Zhao Xi.
Zhao Xi was a little confused by Buffy's actions, and didn't know which play Buffy was staging, so he hurriedly avoided the direction of Buffy's luggage.
"This can't be done, this can't be done. Zhao Xi waved his hand and said.
He was not in the habit of accepting the salute of someone older than himself, which would have cost him a long life in the previous world.
Although he used to be a good young man who believed in science and didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but this kind of thing is there, so it's better to be careful, he hasn't lived enough.
"Does that make it difficult for you?" Buffy began, confused.
"It's a bit embarrassing, I can't guarantee that someone from my family will meet you, so don't expect too much just yet. Zhao Xi thought for a while and said.
"Naturally, I didn't mean to force you. Buffy doesn't care.
Zhao Xi has no elders, all he thinks of now is procrastination, dragging him for a year or two, and then Buffy can't find his own estimate and give up.
However, he was also a little curious about the question raised by Buffy, looking at the other party's appearance, he was obviously interested in his skills, but his skills were all given by the system, even if he wanted to give him science Zhao Xi, he couldn't do it.
"Can I ask you what you have to do with my elders?" Zhao Xi asked with a curious expression.
"I'm ashamed to say that, I just felt a familiar wave from the starlight you cast, so I'm curious about the origin of the starlight. Buffy said with a smile.
"Well, maybe only the family elders can answer this question, I don't know. Zhao Xi shook his head and said.
"I understand, after all, how can young people pay attention to the origin of swordsmanship or something, you are only interested in power, and I was like this when I was young. ”
Buffy said with a look of recollection, as if he remembered his own youthful days.
"Look at my head, I haven't thanked you for yesterday's events. ”
The look of memory on Buffy's face didn't last long, and after waking up, he quickly knocked his head and looked at Zhao Xi with a smile.
"Thank you, haven't you hired me yet? Zhao Xi said with a smile.
Hearing Zhao Xi's words, Buffy also laughed and said, "If you can hire an extraordinary professional at this price, then I really take a big advantage." ”
"No, no, no, I've learned a lot from you, and it's priceless. Zhao Xi picked up the teacup and took another sip of black tea.
"Hahahaha, it's just a little common sense, if you come back to Shodrea, you want to come to my house and have a light meal with me, let me thank you very much. Buffy laughed happily.
"I don't seem to have a reason to refuse. Zhao Xi put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Then thank you Mr. Buffy for your hospitality." ”
Buffy began to introduce Zhao Xi to other meals on the table, although the taste was uneven, but it still allowed Zhao Xi to taste a meal of otherworldly food.
Although he didn't know why he could still eat hot omelets and apple pie on the way, he still adhered to the principle of eating more and talking less, saving himself from asking any embarrassing words to make the other party doubt his aristocratic status.
After eating and drinking enough, Zhao Xi found an opportunity to ask what he had always wanted to ask:
"Did Mr. Buffy hear crying at night when he was crossing the Black Forest?"
Buffy couldn't help frowning when he heard Zhao Xi's question: "Crying? Are you talking about the weird crying?"
"Yes. Zhao Xi wiped his mouth with a napkin on the side and nodded.
"I haven't heard of this before, but I've heard some legends. Buffy put down the teacup in his hand and cleared his throat.
"Legend?" Zhao Xi had something bad in his heart.
"Yes, I've heard that some people have seen the back of an elf crying in the Black Forest. Buffy thought for a moment and said.
"The back of the elf crying?" Zhao Xi felt a little pain in his head.
"Yes!" Buffy nodded and said, "Some people say that it is because their homes were destroyed, so the elves wash their faces with tears all day long, and they are grief-stricken. ”
"Others say that it was a spirit turned into a spirit who died in battle, and when he learned of his death, he had to wander the Black Forest while crying. ”
"But I haven't seen it, it's a few of the more popular legends in the Black Forest. Buffy said with a shrug.
"Crying resentful spirit?" Zhao Xi felt a sudden toothache, as if something he didn't like was really about to appear.
What? You said that Zhao Xi was afraid of resentful spirits? How could it be, he was completely a man who had watched all the classic horror movies by himself, okay? If you close your eyes and watch it, it can be counted.
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. Buffy looked at Zhao Xi and laughed and said: "There are some similar rumors in every place, almost all of them are false, how can there be so many resentful spirits in this world." ”
"Yes. Zhao Xi smiled reluctantly and said.
However, he thought of Cornelia in the carriage, and Cornelia could use magic skills, so she should be able to deal with resentful spirits.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xi suddenly felt a lot more relieved, anyway, he didn't have a vigil mission in the past two days, and he decided to protect Cornelia from harm in the past two days.
As for the wraith, what wraith? He was just thinking about the safety of his companions, and the delicate girl had to have a strong guard, didn't he?
Zhao Xiyou and Buffy chatted a few words in the carriage and then hurriedly said goodbye, saying too much and making mistakes, and Zhao Xi would be exposed if he continued to talk.
Zhao Xi, who got out of the carriage, stretched a big lazy waist, waved his hand at Buffy in the carriage and walked straight back.
Suddenly, he also meets Dorne, who says that he is interested in his swordsmanship and wants to learn from him when he has time.
Zhao Xi naturally agreed to Dorne's request, but Zhao Xi felt that if he didn't wear bloody leather armor, he would definitely not be able to beat Dorne.
Although he is also in the transcendent realm, his foundation is still a little thinner than that of other transcendent professions, at least if he does not rely on equipment, he is at most a novice who has just entered the transcendental realm.
Nothing happened all afternoon, and it felt like I wasn't in the dangerous Black Forest, but in the ordinary woods where I had gone out on an outing.
If you exclude these unchanged and somewhat creepy scenery, there is indeed a bit of an outing.
After hastily finishing dinner, Zhao Xi followed Cornelia and the others back to the carriage, since there was no additional situation today, the three of them were not very sleepy after dinner.
The three of them sitting in the carriage stared at each other with big eyes, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Well, do you believe that there are ghosts in the world?"
After a while, Zhao Xi couldn't stand this embarrassing atmosphere, and asked the second daughter opposite.
"Hell? Dorothy tilted her head.
"If you are referring to a creature whose soul of the dead is unwilling to rest and eventually turns into a resentful spirit, then there is. ”
Cornelia looked at the unknown book in her hand and said without raising her head.
"Is this kind of resentful spirit dangerous?" Zhao Xi said, looking at Cornelia.
"Of course it's dangerous!" Cornelia glanced at Zhao Xi in surprise: "Newly formed resentful spirits can easily take the lives of ordinary people, just like the dead country in the south, there are also powerful resentful spirits that can slaughter cities and destroy countries." ”
"Slaughter the city and destroy the country?" Zhao Xi swallowed.
"That's right, the wraith is a very powerful undead creature, the starting point is higher than the skeleton soldiers, even the skeleton soldiers can give birth to the skeleton king, can the wraiths be few strong?"
Cornelia glanced at Zhao Xi, and seemed to feel that Zhao Xi was making a fuss and was very ignorant.
"Is that the longer the resentful spirit exists, the more powerful it becomes?" Zhao Xi continued.
"It stands to reason that this is the case, but the spirits are very demanding on the environment, and if they don't have enough negative energy and flesh, even if they exist for a long time, their strength is limited. ”
Cornelia lowered her head and made a page of the book, just read two lines and looked up at Zhao Xi and said, "Why did you suddenly ask about this?"
"If we say that we may encounter a resentful spirit that has lived for a long time, do you believe it?" Zhao Xi said with a smile.
"What's going on?" Cornelia frowned and looked at Zhao Xi, who was a little pale on the other side.
Then Zhao Xi told the second daughter in the car all the legends that David heard crying at night and Buffy told him about the Black Forest.
After listening to Zhao Xi's story, Cornelia looked serious, not knowing what she was thinking.
"What if it's a prank by some people? If there really is such a strong spirit, it will not be able to play such petty tricks. Quietly, Dorothy expressed her opinion.
Dorothy has a point. Cornelia nodded approvingly.
"Definitely. ”
Zhao Xi also felt that he was a little overly worried, but before he could completely relax his heart, a woman's cry came from his ears.
