Chapter 725: Invitations
In the Valley of Death, a rickety figure hung in the air, but it was the old man who had sent Jiang Hao out of the Necromantic Realm before. At this time, the old man looked at the air of death that was gradually dissipating outside the valley with a blank expression, and there was no expression on his face full of ravines.
"Alas......"
After a long time, he let out a long sigh of turbidity, and the sound was as ugly as a bellows.
"The ghost god disappeared, the ghost king died, and now the remaining four ghost generals are lost ......here because of their ambitions."
"It's time to leave......"
The old man looked up at the gray sky, but his chaotic eyes gradually regained their clarity, and the crutches in his hand gently smashed down, and a halo appeared under his feet, from the bottom up, penetrating his body.
"Uh-huh-"
His body seemed to be torn apart, and the skin all over his body was torn into splinters, and the wind blew away, but then a new but pale skin appeared beneath it, and the old man's body stood upright.
After a while, his body actually turned into a young man's appearance, and under the black robe was pale skin, showing a sickly and beautiful appearance.
"Now that the god who inherited the name has appeared, I'm afraid that he will also ......."
All of a sudden, the old man, who was seventy or eighty years younger, looked at the sky expressionlessly, but his body slowly became transparent and disappeared in place.
…………
“…… In this way, a ghost general with the strength of the Ghost King fell, and I prevented the second Black Death plague from happening. ”
Jiang Hao stood behind the bar, rubbing his head and wiping his glass, while speaking softly, and in front of him was a lunar eclipse lying on the bar, with his chin in his hands and his eyes shining.
Although Jiang Hao has been back to the tavern for more than a month, and his injuries are almost gone, but after getting acquainted, the eclipse comes to pester Jiang Hao almost every day, asking him to tell his heroic deeds this time, and Jiang Hao was originally very ashamed of this kind of thing, but he couldn't stand the pleading of the eclipse, so Jiang Hao could only take the trouble to tell it over and over again.
"Lord Sunyao, you really ...... It's a god-sama. ”
After listening to Jiang Hao's account of the lunar eclipse, although he sometimes expressed worry about Jiang Hao's crisis, he would always blush and say his admiration from the bottom of his heart in the end, and then he would bow to Jiang Hao and go to do his work.
"Boss, you really seem to be an enviable couple...... Father. ”
Old Arthur passed by and teased Jiang Hao, but Jiang Hao smiled and did not refute, but also teased old Arthur:
"Then our grandfather will be said to be a family of three generations when he goes out. ”
"Don't dare, don't dare. ”
Old Arthur hurriedly shook his head, although his relationship with Jiang Hao was indeed very good, he really didn't dare to take advantage of a god.
"But...... Is that good?"
After being silent for a while, looking at the lunar eclipse who was happily working with a song, old Arthur sighed, and still asked: "Let an ordinary person, or an underage little girl, stay by your side, you have to know ......"
"I asked her for her opinion, she herself did not want to return to the life of ordinary people, I thought she would hope for the life of ordinary people, as an ordinary little girl to grow up, but she wanted to stay here as a kanban girl. ”
Jiang Hao shrugged his shoulders, looked at old Arthur, and said, "This is her own original words." ”
"But, boss, ......"
Old Arthur was a little helpless, looked directly into Jiang Hao's eyes, looked at Jiang Hao a little weakly, blinked, lowered his head again, wiped the cup in his hand, and after a while, he said:
"Old Arthur, I'll be honest with you, the eclipse...... This child bears some resemblance to my old friend, and I don't know if I will ever see him, so I ...... This time, I didn't want to let go. ”
"I just want to watch her grow up healthy and healthy, at least for the time I'm here, and not hurt her in the slightest, and that's what I want to do now. ”
"Don't look at my appearance, but my real age is more than enough to be her father, and you don't have to worry about me doing anything out of bounds......"
Jiang Hao lowered his head and said with a smile, but Old Arthur's hand was slowly stretched out, accompanied by a slight trembling.
Suddenly, Jiang Hao felt some tingling pain on his scalp, frowned, raised his head and just wanted to ask Old Arthur what he had done to him just now, but he saw the long white hair in Old Arthur's hand.
"Boss ......"
Old Arthur's voice trembled a little, and his hand reached over again, wanting to stroke Jiang Hao's hair, but Jiang Hao already knew it, and when he saw it, his brows tightened.
He actually grew gray hair.
Originally, although his age was already middle-aged for ordinary people, for cultivators, he was still a young man, and he was in the prime of life, plus he had a dragon and phoenix divine body, full of energy, how could he be born early?
"Tsk. ”
Jiang Hao was a little irritable, grabbed the strand of white hair, and hid it under the black hair, he was not a fool, his mind moved, and he knew what this matter was.
Yuan Li has bottomed out, and his body has been occupied by evil spirits, which has consumed his qi and blood, plus there is no vitality in this world, every time he uses transcendent power, he is overdrawing his life.
"The spirit grass is gone, ......"
He touched his storage bracelet, the consumption of this period of time had already depleted his elixir, and he couldn't enter the Sword Emperor Divine Stone, he was now considered to be out of food in the real sense.
"Alas......"
He touched his face up and down with his hands, as if to erase his sadness, and suddenly, he thought of something, turned his head to look at old Arthur who was waiting on the side, and asked with some urgency: "Old Arthur, you have lived for thousands of years, right?
"Like the paladin in the church, and the old sword fairy in the east?"
Old Arthur groaned slightly, and said with some hesitation: "Probably because they have an artifact in their hands, or a god-level artifact, which can maintain their lives and prevent them from exhausting. ”
"Like the blade you used that day?"
Jiang Hao thought about it, looked up at old Arthur and said.
"That's right. ”
Old Arthur nodded: "At least it should be of the same level, or even higher than an artifact like mine that can only bring destruction." ”
With that, old Arthur secretly turned his back to the eclipse that was wiping the table, shielded it from seeing it with his body, and snapped his fingers slightly, and above his index finger was a silver blade that seemed to be magical, shining with a metallic sheen, and shining dangerously in the dim light of the bar.
Jiang Hao blinked, he knew that there were at least four such finger blades Old Arthur, among them, when he was in the City of Witchcraft, he had seen the power that burst out from the finger blade that was enough to kill the immortal, and even he didn't dare to underestimate it.
"So, these artifacts ...... Where did it all come from?"
Jiang Hao glanced at the finger blade, he was suddenly very interested in this, obviously in this world, there are only a handful of king-level creatures, how can there be such a powerful artifact?
"Most of them are handed down from the age of mythology, but there are also native, but only a few of them, after all, ......"
Old Arthur paused, put away the finger blade, and glanced at Jiang Hao: "At the end of the mythological era, many things were destroyed, and the environment of heaven and earth changed greatly, which is also the reason why the fantasy species is called the fantasy species in this era. ”
"The End of the Age of Mythology......"
Jiang Hao blinked and didn't ask any more, he knew that Old Arthur had only lived for more than a thousand years, and he probably didn't know too much about that time, as long as he found that goddess, all these problems would be solved.
"So it's really necessary to take a trip......
Jiang Hao sighed, lay on the bar, closed his eyes and recuperated.
But at this moment, one of his nerves was suddenly pulled.
"Huh?"
He sat up jerk and looked in one direction, his gaze as if through the void and into the distance.
It was he who had set up an enchantment in this city that was moved, and there were lifeforms far beyond ordinary people approaching at a rapid pace!
“…… It didn't take much effort to get there. ”
Jiang Hao narrowed his eyes, stood up, walked out from behind the bar, and said to the eclipse: "Lunar eclipse, you go to the back first." ”
Lunar Eclipse raised her head and glanced at Jiang Hao with some puzzlement, but she never disobeyed Jiang Hao's words, and walked towards the back obediently.
"It's coming!"
However, before the lunar eclipse could go to the back, Jiang Hao let out a low snort, swept away his previous relaxed demeanor, and exuded an amazing momentum from all over his body, staring at the door.
Outside the door, there were a few exclamations, and the door was pushed open heavily, and a thin figure rushed in with a cold wind.
Jiang Hao could see at a glance that this person's skills were absolutely extraordinary, at least stronger than Renault and others. I saw that he was wearing a blue-gray robe and a hat on his head, and a black veil was lowered on the hat, covering most of his face, but it could be seen that this was a middle-aged man.
And it is holding a simple long sword, and there is a sound of swords hidden on it, which is obviously not ordinary.
"Which one, is it the sun?"
The person who came had a calm face, and there was a shout at the exit, the sound was as sharp as a sword, which shook the lunar eclipse behind Jiang Hao and covered his ears, and leaned towards the bar in some pain.
Jiang Hao frowned, turned on his spiritual vision, took everything in his eyes, waved his hand at Old Arthur, and motioned for Old Arthur to take the eclipse away.
Old Arthur knew this, and hurriedly helped the eclipse to the back of the store.
And the man still had a gloomy expression, staring at the old Arthur and the eclipse who were leaving, maybe he heard something in the far east, an inexplicable hostility rose, and as soon as his right hand was raised, the long sword was just about to point at the old Arthur and the others, and the man was in front of him, and he only felt a huge force coming from his hand, and his proud long sword came out of his hand, and nailed it to the wall of the tavern like lightning, submerging three feet, and not moving, as if it had grown there.
"I'm Riyao, what's the matter with you?"
Jiang Hao looked at the middle-aged man in front of him expressionlessly, as if he had casually turned his back on his hand, as if it was not him who had hit the long sword with his bare hands just now, and said in a tone that barely made a wave.
"You...... Are you Riyao?" The middle-aged man was obviously taken aback by Jiang Hao's methods, not only could he not catch up with Jiang Hao's speed, but even his strength was beyond his reach...... However, he was not too surprised, but calmed down, as if he was very unconvinced, and looked at Jiang Hao with a slight disdain in his tone: "That's good, come with me." ”
"Why?"
Jiang Hao raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Why?" the man asked rhetorically as if he was a little surprised: "Our master, the world-famous old sword immortal, released an invitation a month ago, inviting you to go to my Eastern Sanjian Mountain for a talk, why don't you go, haven't you received it?"
"Invitation?" Jiang Hao was stunned, and then frowned slightly, a month ago, he may have just returned to the tavern to recuperate, or he may still be on the way back, or he may be closed because the media hyped that he prevented the second Black Death catastrophe, but if this invitation is not handed over to him, it will definitely be collected by the Association of Strangers, but why didn't anyone inform him?
Moreover, he remembered that since he came back, his old friend Tai Wei had never visited his door in the past month, which was not in line with Tai Wei's character, could it be that something really happened in the Association of Strangers to exclude him?
"Okay, don't be verbose, since we have to come and invite you, then there's nothing to say, let's get on the road!"
The middle-aged man seemed to be a little impatient and whispered, stretched out his hand, and the long sword that had not entered the wall shook a few times, and then flew back into his hand, pointing straight at Jiang Hao.
"Don't you know that I'm the Grim Reaper?"
Jiang Hao glanced at the long sword expressionlessly and said lightly.
"I know, but what?" The middle-aged man sneered, and the long sword in his hand was held tighter: "Even if you are really a god of death, then you are just a crooked and evil way in the West, compared to my Eastern Sword Immortal, you are just a group of uncivilized barbarians, don't be ashamed, please don't move you!"
Jiang Hao narrowed his eyes, stared at the middle-aged man carefully, and said, "Is this what your master means, or is it your own meaning?"
"What do you mean?!" The middle-aged man said angrily: "My master is a sword immortal, and he has difficulty moving, so he can't come to the door in person and invite you over, but you actually ignore my master's invitation, even if my master doesn't blame you, our master has thousands of sword cultivators, and you will definitely have to pay the price!"
"Since it's not what your master meant, it's easy to do. Jiang Hao raised his head and sighed, as if he had let go of a big stone in his heart.
"What do you mean?" the middle-aged man was stunned.
"After all, if it's so easy to offend an old-timer, it's a bit of trouble for me......"
Jiang Hao shook his head and smiled: "I saw that your boss is not too small just now, I don't want to do anything with you, don't go too far." ”
"After all, in my opinion, ......" Suddenly, Jiang Hao's left hand was pinched into a sword finger and slammed into the middle-aged man's sword body, only to hear the crisp sonorous sound of the sword, and the long sword was torn apart.
"You're the ones who haven't seen the world. ”
I don't know when, Jiang Hao got close to the middle-aged man's stiff body, and whispered, but it made the middle-aged man tremble - he seemed to feel the breath of death!
