Chapter 186: Attack
Although Vivien's words could not completely solve the problem in Ares's heart, they could temporarily alleviate his entanglement at this time, and the two chatted on the rooftop for a while, and then went back to their rooms to rest.
"Wake up so early?" Vivien walked out of the room the next morning, only to find Ares sitting on the table outside the hallway.
"Well, I want to see how this city of Tarim is getting light. I didn't expect to see the sunrise, but unlike at night, I couldn't even feel the process of transformation, and almost instantly the whole city was illuminated by the sun. Ares said.
"Haha, are you stupid, you can't see the sunset, and there will definitely be no sunrise. Did you just get caught in the eyes of the sudden dawn?" asked Vivien laughing.
"Fortunately, the night was not too dark, although the dawn was a little sudden, but it was not dazzling. Now that you're up, let's get ready to go, and we should be able to get you to your cousin today. Ares said.
"What's the hurry? I haven't eaten breakfast, are you so desperate to get me away?" Vivien said, glancing at Ares.
"No, I'm not afraid that your family will worry. Ares explained.
"Hmph, then you can't skip breakfast! Isn't it possible that you people in the Freedom Alliance don't eat breakfast on weekdays?" asked Vivien angrily.
"Haha, of course we had breakfast. But I usually eat this when I'm outside. Ares pulled out a white fist-sized rice ball from his bosom and shook it with a smile at Vivien.
"Marching pills, my God, you don't want me to use such unpalatable things for breakfast, do you? Even in the army, you won't use it as food unless there are special circumstances. Vivien cried out with disgust as she stared at what was in Ares' hand.
"It's not that unpalatable... Ares looked at the marching pill in his hand, muttered softly, and then continued: "Actually, I think you can try it, this is not an ordinary marching pill." It was the research success of one of my elders, and it tasted much better than ordinary marching pills. ”
"Don't! Don't try to fool me! No matter how ordinary he is, he is also a marching pill, and I don't want to try that taste again. Vivien hurriedly waved her hand and refused.
"Well, it's up to you what you want for breakfast today, after all, I'm not familiar with this Tarim City. Ares put away the marching pill and spread his hands helplessly.
"Well, I think about it. Why don't we just eat here, they prepared a good dinner last night, and I can't think of any other place to eat for a while, so let's try their breakfast again. This will also save you a lot of time, so that you don't have to rush. Vivien thought for a moment and said.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Ares nodded.
Breakfast was indeed served in the inn where Ares and his wife lived, and it didn't take long for the two of them to solve the breakfast problem and embark on the journey.
"Ares, are we friends now?" asked Vivien a short time after she left Tarim City.
"It should be. Ares nodded.
"Is it so reluctant?" said Vivien, squinting at Ares.
"No reluctance, of course we are friends. Ares laughed and explained.
"That's pretty much it," Vivien retracted her gaze with satisfaction, nodded and continued, "Can I ask you for one thing as a friend?"
"What's the matter?" you say. Ares said.
"Can you let me accompany you to find your friends, I don't have many friends when I'm so old. To be honest, after listening to your story yesterday, I really envy you for having so many friends. So can you introduce me to your friends?" asked Vivien, turning her head to look at Ares, tentatively.
"No, if you want to get to know them, I'll bring them to play with you when I have a chance in the future. Ares rejected Vivien's temptation.
"Why? Aren't we already friends? As friends, why can't I accompany you to find your former friends?" asked Vivien, who was rejected, a little unhappily.
"Your family will be worried, and there is a good chance that you will encounter a lot of dangers along the way. Ares explained.
"Don't underestimate people, I'm a high-level magician, my strength is not necessarily weaker than yours, and I am fully capable of protecting myself in case of danger. As for my family, you don't have to worry, just go to the city in front of you and ask someone to send the news back. Or just go to my cousin and ask him to bring the news back. Vivien said.
"No, it's not as simple as you think. The place I'm going to is not in Tancente, and it's my first time there, so I'm not familiar with the situation. So take you, I'm really not sure to guarantee your safety. Ares still decisively rejected Vivien.
"Why are you like this... Just as Vivien was about to get angry, Ares interrupted her with a raised hand.
"Be careful, there seems to be someone coming up ahead. Ares stopped and put away his fat fat and said to Vivien with a serious face.
"Heh, the kid is quite alert. As soon as Ares finished speaking, a middle-aged man in white leather armor revealed his figure not far from them.
"Pike, why are you here?" asked Vivien, after putting the pink pig away, and seeing the person coming, she couldn't help but ask with some disgust.
"Of course I'm here to be ordered to pick you up, Miss. Pike didn't care about Vivien's attitude, and said with a slight smile.
"Vivien, do you know him?" Ares asked in a low voice as she turned her head to Vivien.
"Well, he's a thug that my father raised outside, and he's a very annoying person. Vivien replied, not hiding her disgust for Pike.
"This child, thank you for taking care of my eldest lady for a day. Now I want to take her back, can I?" asked Pike as he slowly stepped forward and smiled at Ares.
"Absolutely. Ares hesitated, then turned sideways and said.
"That's a big thank you. With that, Pike walked up to Ares.
"Poof, bang!" Just as Pike passed in front of Ares, he didn't expect Pike to suddenly attack Ares. Fortunately, Vivien's attitude before made Ares a little wary of this person. Coupled with the sudden appearance of a wind shield on his body, it slightly blocked Pike's attack, allowing Ares to raise his hand to block the attack. It wasn't until then that Ares realized that Pike was wearing a pair of special gloves on his hands, which looked like his usual weapon.
"Tsk, it's really sad! I didn't expect you, Miss, to be so wary of me. Pike, who failed in the sneak attack, was not annoyed, and still smiled and glanced at Ares and Vivien, who had retreated, and sighed softly.
