"So you're saying that the lewd middle-aged man said he knew Xuanniao, and tricked you into the RV?" said a male-looking man sitting at the bar of a bar, four people seated, one of whom looked fierce.

"It's not a lie, it's not a cheat," the long-haired man emphasized, "I'm ...... after rational judgment and analysis."

"Come on, don't you like this," the big man laughed lewdly, "a middle-aged intellectual man with all the hair on his head......"

"That's enough, Poor," said the long-haired man, "you're too lewd." ”

"Am I obscene?" Qi Qi was indignant, "am I obscene or that obscene?" and call himself a hydra, which I think is almost the same as a bald snake. ”

"Hydra ......," said an old man next to him who had not spoken.

"What's wrong with Hydra? Qi Qi said.

"How many times have you said that you want to call the candle dragon, you dragon brother Long, how do we know which dragon you are calling. The long-haired man said.

"Ouch, Lu Wu, you criticized me and taught me a lesson, isn't there just a Brother Long in our Chinese Society?" Qi Qi smiled and said, "That's our Brother Candle Dragon." ”

The old man waved his hand, "It's better for you to call me Candle Dragon, and it's more convenient for everyone to call each other." ”

Qi Qi touched his head and smiled. At this time, a young man next to him who had not spoken to him said, "How did he know Xuanniao?" The young man's voice was very low, which did not match his sunny and refreshing appearance.

"I don't know. Lu Wu shrugged, "He didn't say much. The main issue is to raise the issue of cooperation. ”

"Cooperation?" said the young man, "does he know what we are doing in Chinese?"

"It looks like I don't know. Lu Wu said, "This person is very deep in the city. But for some reason, I still believe what he says. ”

"Believe it?" the young man scoffed, "the Chinese Society has never needed a partner. ”

"Houtu. The old man said, "It's not that the Chinese Language Club is not needed, but the time has not yet come." ”

He looked at the three people opposite, Qi Qi, Lu Wu and Hou Tu, "Do you know why the Chinese Society has been established so far, it has been smooth sailing?"

"Of course, it's because we're very strong," Qi Qi said, "Don't talk about me, even Lu Wu, this guy, who can't be scared away?"

"Lu Wu will only perform passive transformation when his life is in danger," Candle Dragon said, "How many times have you seen him transform?"

"Less...... There are dozens of times, to say the least. "Poor Chi is stuck.

In other words, Lu Wu has experienced at least dozens of life-threatening situations. The candle dragon said, "Do you still think we are strong?"

"But...... If Lu Wu can't do it alone, there are eight of us in total, and Xuanyao is ......," Qi Qi said.

"Xuanniao alone, more than the remaining seven of us combined. The candle dragon said, "And many forces as powerful as Xuanniao may soon wake up." ”

"What?" Poor Qi's jaw dropped in shock.

"You don't believe it?" the candle dragon frowned. His ability included some spells that could be predicted, although it was a very, very vague prediction, but after all, he had seen several points of light of the same brightness as Xuanniao gradually rising in the darkness in the magic circle, and there were even a few strange energies that he couldn't approach at all. It was hard to imagine what kind of power it was—he guessed that there were two possibilities, either far stronger than him or even a Xuanniao, or some strange spell that he hadn't been exposed to yet.

"Xuanniao is so good at fighting, I can't see it. Qi Qi shook his head.

Dare to love this thing didn't find the point at all.

The old man sighed. "It's best to have a helper. But you have to be cautious at all times. He asked Lu Wu, "Can I meet him once?"

"Ah......" Lu Wu hesitated, he didn't like the middle-aged man who called himself Hydra, "Okay." ”

"Hydra, the hydra in Greek mythology, is a mythical creature in the West and appears most frequently in ancient Greek mythology. Legend has it that it had nine heads, and if one of them was cut off, two more would be born. Hercules used his wits to successfully defeat the giant water serpent Hydra......" Houtu said.

Qi Qi just wanted to say admiration, but suddenly found that Houtu was holding a mobile phone, and was reading to the screen...... "I know, I know, Hydra, I want to see if two can grow after cutting off one head." ”

"Qiqi, talk a little less angry. The old man said.

"Oh. Qi Qi replied in his mouth, but he was dissatisfied in his heart, his name was called "Qi Qi", how could he be less angry? Qi Qi was one of the four fierce beasts of ancient China. As soon as he thought of this, Qi Qi began to fantasize about his fierce appearance and bullying the commoners, there would be a cardamom girl sitting in the corner crying very scared, begging him not to hurt her, at this time he would pretend to eat the girl, so that the other party would be afraid, and then let her go after a while. This will make Poor Qi feel that he is very powerful and cruel, and his desire for control is greatly satisfied, which he has always been a very controlling person. I'm afraid only he knows that in addition to not letting himself commit crimes and go to prison, the main reason for joining the Chinese Language Club is this desire for control - how much control it should be to maintain peace in China.

The old man sighed. He can see through a part of people's hearts, and naturally knows that Qi Qi is different from the other seven people in the guild, Qi Qi is entangled by a black energy, which is the attribute of the divine power itself that comes from the ancient beasts in his body, but the divine power itself will also deeply affect and assimilate the people who use the divine power.

"Xuanniao......" the old man thought.

The divine power on the Xuanniao is far stronger than theirs, and sometimes the candle dragon even feels that the Xuanniao is not a vassal of the power of the ancient gods like them, but the reincarnation of the real ancient gods...... But the real ancient gods have long since died, if the ancient gods do not die, how can there be room for human beings to multiply? The previous generation of candle dragons once told him when they transmitted their divine power to him, that the gods are not as holy and immaculate as believers admire, and that the real gods are irritable and warlike, and are often accompanied by powerful abilities to kill and destroy.

Candle Dragon doesn't know where he got the idea - has anyone really seen God in this world, or is there really a god in this world? Candle Dragon prefers to believe that this idea is inherited from Candle Dragon's ancestors and passed down from generation to generation. However, after being transmitted, he has the ability to predict the future and even see through the souls of others, and although this power itself is very vague, it is still beyond the limits of his thinking - to put it bluntly, this is not what the book teaches. If the ancestor of the candle dragon was born with these powers, can it be said that he is the candle dragon, the ancient god who "opens his eyes for day and closes his eyes for night" as mentioned in mythology?

The candle dragon couldn't think of an answer. As the heir to this power, he can only choose to believe. also chose to believe, as well as his partners, Xuanniao, Lu Wu, Houtu, Qiqi, as well as Xingtian, Wangshu, and Yaoji. It is precisely by choosing to believe in the existence of this power that they will claim to be the heirs of the old gods and take on the duty of secretly protecting the security of the country. From the moment he accepted the inheritance of the power of the old gods, he followed the members of the guild on missions around the country to eliminate xenomorphs with dangerous tendencies, and watched his teammates die one after another, and then put on a new batch of faces. Now that he is old, he still hasn't found the answer.

Inheriting the power of the ancient gods and fulfilling the duties of the Chinese Society, is this the fate shared by him and this group of young people? Candle Dragon couldn't figure out the answer for a long time. It wasn't until he saw new points of light and new energies appear in the circle that he felt that there was a wider part of this world worth exploring. There was even a day...... The candle dragon thought that these special abilities would not have to hide, would not have to bring calamity and destruction, they would coexist peacefully with all humans, and would appear where there was sunlight.

Definitely, the old man thought, this is the mission of the Chinese Society.

Lu Wu and a few young people were drinking and punching on the side, and Candle Dragon asked for a glass of whiskey alone and sat aside. Of course, he doesn't have to pay, this bar is the base of activities of the Chinese Society, and it belongs to the Chinese Society. The bartender had only recently followed Wangshu out on a mission - and Wangshu was liking the young man more and more. Candle Dragon thought. He took a sip from his glass, the strength of the barrel no longer irritating his stomach.

"It's old. Candle Dragon thought.

He looked at the few people who were punching on the side, all pretending to be drunk and half drunk—the candle dragon knew them, and each of them was as good as a wine barrel. It's only at home that you can be so unscrupulous, Candle Dragon thought, when he goes outside, he looks like a dog, pretending to be a gentleman more than anyone else.

yes, they're young.
